A “Jutba” tribute bundle adorned with leis sits in the cargo bay of a U.S. Air Force C-130J Super Hercules in honor of Senior Airman Jeremy Jutba-Hake at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, Dec. 12, 2024, during Operation Christmas Drop 2024. The tradition of OCD began during the Christmas season in 1952 when a B-29 Superfortress aircrew saw islanders waving at them from the island of Kapingamarangi, 3,500 miles southwest of Hawaii. In the spirit of Christmas, the aircrew dropped a bundle of supplies attached to a parachute to the islanders below, giving the operation its name. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Nathan Allen)
