FAIRCHILD AIR FORCE BASE, Wash. --  A representative from the Kalispell Tribe presented Col. Brian Hill, the 92nd Air Refueling Wing vice commander, and various other U.S. military leaders in the community, gifts cards for troops by Operation Spokane Heroes and Northern Quest Casino and Resort as part of their annual contribution to needy military families in the area Dec. 11.

In past years gift baskets with food were donated but in recent years it was decided that the gift cards were easier for everyone including the recipients so they could purchase what they needed. Operation Spokane Hero was able to purchase gift cards for these families can enjoy the spirit of the holiday and purchase food and toys.
