Ukraine Crisis
Operation Jolly Roger
Operation Jolly Roger was named in recognition of Operation Peter Pan. The Jolly Roger was Captain Hook’s ship, which would eventually be captured and used by Peter Pan to ferry the lost children of Neverland back to be reunited with their family.
Operation Peter Pan was an operation carried out in 1960 to save Cuban children from Castro’s communist regime as it came to power. 14,000 unaccompanied children arrived in the United States where they would be adopted by U.S.-based family members and charity organizations until they could one day be reunited with their parents.
Now in 2022, F3 MCIA is undertaking the same operation by ushering Ukrainian children to safety as both chaos and death overtake their country.
