The COVID-19 pandemic has interrupted traditions the world over, but one Department of Defense operation that has brought Christmas cheer and much-needed supplies to some of the most remote islands in the world since 1952 continued unabated.

Operation Christmas Drop looked a bit different this year, like most things, but the U.S. Air Force still managed to drop 64 bundles, amounting to more than 3,200 pounds of food, supplies, and toys, to Palau, an archipelago of more than 500 islands.
