Operation Snaggletooth is a non-profit organization serving those who are the youngest and most innocent casualties of war; the children of our fallen American soldiers. The purpose of this organization is simple. It is to provide tooth fairy pillows to all children, regardless of age, of deceased military members from the war on terror in Afghanistan and Iraq and other places of military operations around the world.
Operation Snaggletooth was born out of the love of the surviving son of CW2 Paul Joshua Flynn. Morgan Flynn was ready to lose his first tooth after the death of his father, Josh. Morgan’s aunt, Amy, sought a way to mark this occasion in Morgan’s life while commemorating the sacrifice of his brave father. Amy designed Morgan a tooth fairy pillow from his father’s BDU, name tape and flight wings. Morgan’s pillow not only serves as a tooth fairy pillow but as a memorial and reminder to his father and the sacrifice he made.

The efforts of this organization have given Morgan a keepsake suitable to pass down for his own children to enjoy, and to continue Josh’s legacy in the hearts of the people who knew him and the people who are here because of him
It is our strongest desire to share our sorrow, condolences, appreciation, gratitude and love with other children like Josh’s son, Morgan, who have lost family members. While this is a small gesture from all of us, it is a giant mission to remember those who gave his or her life as the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.
