(upbeat, festive music)

00:05.600 --> 00:07.270
- Operation Santa Claus is something

00:07.270 --> 00:08.920
that we look forward to every year.

00:08.920 --> 00:11.280
People in the National
Guard wanna be a part of it.

00:11.280 --> 00:13.070
We love working with the Salvation Army.

00:13.070 --> 00:14.540
The people in the villages love it

00:14.540 --> 00:16.350
when we come into their communities.

00:16.350 --> 00:18.452
And it's just such a fun time together.

00:18.452 --> 00:20.400
(people chattering)

00:20.400 --> 00:23.100
- We couldn't do this program
without the National Guard.

00:23.100 --> 00:26.690
I just really value and
treasure that partnership.

00:26.690 --> 00:29.933
And I'm thankful that I get
to be a part of it every year.

00:30.784 --> 00:34.201
(upbeat, festive music)

00:41.960 --> 00:43.530
- So many things are different this year,

00:43.530 --> 00:45.110
and we're making so many adjustments

00:45.110 --> 00:46.290
because of the pandemic.

00:46.290 --> 00:49.000
And it's just so nice
to be able to continue

00:49.000 --> 00:52.040
doing something that is positive.

00:52.040 --> 00:54.130
It's a good engagement
with the communities,

00:54.130 --> 00:57.839
and it allows us to just share
in the joy of the season.

00:57.839 --> 01:01.256
