00:00:04,521 --> 00:00:07,810
[Inspirational Music] 
You know we've been doing this mission for more than 65

2
00:00:07,810 --> 00:00:10,840
years and from the Indo Pacific command

3
00:00:10,850 --> 00:00:12,739
as well as the Pacific Air Forces

4
00:00:12,739 --> 00:00:14,683
Command perspective, it's a great

5
00:00:14,683 --> 00:00:16,794
privilege to do something like this.

6
00:00:17,930 --> 00:00:19,986
Operation Christmas Drop gives us an

7
00:00:19,986 --> 00:00:22,590
opportunity to help out the islands in

8
00:00:22,590 --> 00:00:25,010
the Pacific and to give back to the

9
00:00:25,010 --> 00:00:26,010
local community.

10
00:00:28,710 --> 00:00:30,660
Five seconds green light.

11
00:00:39,670 --> 00:00:40,670
Green light.

12
00:00:48,330 --> 00:00:50,052
It's out of here merry, merry

13
00:00:50,052 --> 00:00:52,108
Christmas.  It seems like as you get

14
00:00:52,108 --> 00:00:53,997
older Christmas kind of loses its

15
00:00:53,997 --> 00:00:55,886
luster a little bit. But for the

16
00:00:55,886 --> 00:00:58,052
Pacific Islanders out here, the magic

17
00:00:58,052 --> 00:01:00,108
of Christmas is very real. When we go

18
00:01:00,108 --> 00:01:02,274
and drop these bundles, seeing videos

19
00:01:02,274 --> 00:01:04,108
on the back half of the children

20
00:01:04,108 --> 00:01:06,219
screaming and waving and just running

21
00:01:06,219 --> 00:01:08,163
to the box and ready to open their

22
00:01:08,163 --> 00:01:10,219
Christmas presents. To be a part of

23
00:01:10,219 --> 00:01:10,470
that is is quite magical .
