Operation Hero

Ten-year-old Delaney Ware, daughter of Tammy Ware, St. Martin Upper Elementary receptionist, becomes familiar with an M-249 Bravo weapon by the help of Tech. Sgt. Nick Tessmer, 81st Security Forces Squadron, during Operation Hero Oct. 13, 2012, at Keesler Air Force Base, Miss. Operation Hero is presented twice a year to give parents a chance to expose their children to what happens when they leave home for deployments tasking or on temporary duty. The Wares were invited to the event through the school liaison office on base to educate teachers at local schools about what it is like for their military students who may go through a similar experience with their parents.
