Operation Christmas Drop


L.I to write a summary of the story behind the Operation Christmas Drop in your own words
This week for reading, we were learning about OCD (Operation Christmas Drop). It is a misson where different militay people drop crates off to islands that have nothing. It all started 68 years ago, and has still been running, where a B-29 aircrew saw native villagers on an island waving at them, and the aircrew dropped a crate to help them. I loved learning about this because people (Military and Volunteers) like to help fundraise and pack supplies like food, and clothes for them. The OCD is still running and people can donate to help the volunteers purchase the equipment for the supply drop. This helpes both becausde the military practice supply drops, as well as the villagers being able to help themselves live with the supply crates. What I found interesting about OCD is that each crate is packed 1 week before the drop, and weighs about 250kg.
