Airmen from the @WANationalGuard take some time from providing essential support to vulnerable Afghans as part of Operation Allies Welcome at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey to have some fun with children.

Our Guardsmen are part of the @DeptofDefense response providing transportation, temporary housing, medical screening, and general support for at least 50,000 Afghan evacuees at suitable facilities.
