Many of the events of my life, the places I have lived, and the people I have met cannot be understood by people who have always lived in the same community. We've all grown up with footlockers, but Operation Footlocker doesn't travel with one person from destination to another it travels to brat reunions, events and military bases as a mobile memory project. Operation Footlocker is a grassroots effort to celebrate the shared cultural identity of Military Brats and grew out a discussion in the spring of 1996 on the Military Veterans of America site within America Online. Reta Jones Nicholson provided the first footlocker and was the catalyst who brought Operation Footlocker from discussion to realty. Operation Footlocker is a volunteer effort and requests can be made to have the footlocker shipped to for brat events or sharing brat history with the general public.
