Operation Heroes is an annual event hosted by the 5th Force Support Squadron that allows military children to undergo a mock deployment to help them better understand what their parents experience abroad. During the event, children tasted Meals Ready-to-Eat, tried on gear, saw weapons displays and created custom-made dog tags. The event concluded with a redeployment line and a welcome home celebration. (U.S. Air Force photos/Staff Sgt. Chad Trujillo and Senior Airman Sahara L. Fales)
