 A teddy bear is tied to some humanitarian aid aboard a C-130 Hercules prior to take-off during an airdrop Aug. 14, 2014, over Iraq. The humanitarian aid includes bottled water and food which was delivered to displaced citizens in the vicinity of Sinjar, Iraq. The teddy bear was donated by an American child to pass along gratitude to children trapped in the Iraq conflict. The C-130 is assigned to the 746th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron.
