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 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. The program helps link all the different efforts of the nearly 200 charitable organizations supporting the troops, and communicates that support to members of our Armed Forces and their families through the www.AmericaSupportsYou.mil website.
