HILL AIR FORCE BASE â For a group of people whose ultimate purpose is to fight and win wars, Hill Air Force Base has its fair share of warm-hearted Christmas softies.
In the days leading up to the 2020 Yuletide, several outfits at Hill were either recipients or donors of some exceptional Christmas cheer.
Last week, following a years-standing tradition, airmen from Hillâs 419th and 388th fighter wings and the 649th Munitions Squadron delivered sacks of gifts to children of Utah foster care families in Weber and Davis counties.
Senior Master Sgt. Drue Titensor, a reservist with the 419th, has been involved with the event for more than a decade. He said the 2020 gift delivery was different than previous years, considering the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The Hill volunteers had to coordinate the effort with health and safety in mind and as a result, instituted a new drive-thru and appointment based delivery and pickup routine.

13 HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah – Airmen from the 419th Fighter Wing, 388th FW and 649th Munitions Squadron joined together Dec. 16 to deliver Christmas gifts to children in foster care.
Continuing a years-long tradition, Airmen packed cars and trucks full of toys to deliver to families across Northern Utah who needed a little extra help for the holidays, especially with the challenges brought on by COVID-19. Due to the pandemic, Utah Foster Care fell short on gift donations this year.
“Our Airmen jumped in, led the charge, and organized a toy roundup,” said Senior Master Sgt. Drue Titensor, fabrication flight chief in the 419th Maintenance Squadron. “If it weren’t for the generosity of these Airmen, many kids would have gone without.”
