KEESLER AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. --   Keesler Air Force Base will host its bi-annual event, Operation Hero, at the corner of Second Street and E Street from 9-11 a.m., June 15.

This event gives Keesler's dependent children an opportunity to experience what a deployment is like for their parents.

Children will receive a pre-deployment mission briefing, go through a deployment line to collect their gear, put on "war paint," and "deploy" to an undisclosed location.

Media interested in covering this event should contact Public Affairs at 228-377-2783 or email 81trw.pa@us.af.mil by 3 p.m. Friday, June 14.
