with the remainder going to OECs’ Christmas Gift Card
program. Gun salute and a possible Air-Force Flyover will
also be a part of honoring the Fallen at the event.
The show will run Memorial day weekend, starting on May

About Operation
Ensuring Christmas
Operation Ensuring Christmas was founded in October 2004 to
provide financial, moral, and rehabilitative support to the
children of fallen American troops. The organization
provides children with personalized Christmas gift cards
during the holiday season, as well as a “Christmas in July”
theme park trip to Orlando, Florida. This support is to
assist these children in recovering from the grief and
trauma caused by the loss of a parent in war and to help
them ‘be kids again’.
Operation Ensuring Christmas is a member of America Supports
You, a nationwide program launched by the Department of
Defense that recognizes citizens’ support for military men
and women. |
