U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Trent Davis, Chief of Chaplains for the U.S. Air Force, listens to remarks made by Ms. Lim Kyun-Ae, a surviving child of Operation Kiddy Car, at Gwangju, Republic of Korea, Dec. 18, 2025. During Operation Kiddy Car, U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Russell Blaisdell, a chaplain, and Staff Sgt. Merle Strang commandeered several trucks at the port of Incheon, transporting more than 1,000 children to an air base in Gimpo, where they boarded 16 Douglas C-54 Skymasters and were evacuated to Jeju. The actions of Blaisdell and Strang exemplified courage, compassion, and decisive leadership in the face of crisis, showcasing the core mission of the Chaplain Corps by safeguarding innocent lives amid chaos and uncertainty.
