Paratroopers read holiday cards that were drawn by children for them as they wait to hear their ticket numbers to be called during the 16th Annual Randy Oler Operation Toy Drop, Dec. 6, at Pope Field, N.C. This card said, "Thank you for protecting us and I hope Santa brings you Transformers." Hosted by the U.S. Army Civil Affairs & Psychological Operations Command (Airborne), Operation Toy Drop is the largest combined airborne operation in the world with nine countries participating this year. The donated toys will be distributed to children's homes and social service in the local community. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Sharilyn Wells/USACAPOC(A) PAO)
