Operation: Coming Home 2026
Operation: Coming Home 2026 is a charity airsoft event at Black Ops Bristol presented by Death Dealers Airsoft in partnership with Veterans Outreach of Wisconsin.

Raffle tickets will be sold for cash only. Prizes will be organized into separate buckets, and each bucket will have its own drawing after the game. Winners must be on site to claim prizes. The game is planned in two sessions with a lunch break in between, pitting Green against Tan and focusing action around the field’s main city area and nearby zones.
