Operation Santa: Alaska Nation Guard, Salvation Army Brings Christmas Cheer to Remote Village

Forget the open-air sleigh and a tuckered herd of flying reindeer, Santa and Mrs. Claus made an early gift delivery in a military C-17 cargo plane and a camouflaged Humvee in rural Alaska this past week.

The Humvee pulled into the parking lot at the high school in Yakutat, a Tlingit village, situated in the lowlands of the Gulf of Alaska, about 225 miles northwest of Juneau. Nearby is the Hubbard Glacier, which is frequently photographed by tourists on cruise ships to Alaska.

Santa’s ride was arranged by the Alaska National Guard, which has been leading special visits and gifts to several Alaska Native villages each year, typically ones that suffered some type of hardship.
