Casper Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Don't forget to pick a toy on black Friday!Good idea. Most of you will already be out shopping. Just grab a toy while you're out. Imagine if everyone on here bought one toy. We make a whole lot of kids happy for Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagr Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 I was home on leave and the Recruiter asked if i could deliver some gifts. I agreed. IT was one of the roughest and proudest days i had in the Corps. I was delivering to areas south of Lancaster and north of Logan. Lots of trailers tucked away in the hills. Lots of Grandmothers raising small children. Ive driven these areas loads of times but you never really see how bad some people have it until your knocking on their door. Let me tell you when someone answers the door and your standing there with a load of gifts in your dress blues the tears flow and you know you and some unknown charitable soul just made someones whole year a lot brighter. I delivered a conversion van full of gifts that day. And did it again the following year. So please donate a toy or two. Give a child and a Marine a very memorable moment they will remember for the rest of their lives.Semper Fi Santa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to take some teddy bears down to the kids @ childrens ..... that would be cool indeed....A few years ago my dad and I dressed up (he was santa, I was frosty) and handed out toys and play with the kids at Childrens in the terminal section. Roughest day of my life by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give a child and a Marine a very memorable moment they will remember for the rest of their lives.Semper Fi Santa. You have NO IDEA how much this truly does mean to some people. I grew up EXTREMELY poor. We never had Christmas presents unless extended family sent us stuff. I can remember when i was in 3rd grade we got a delivery from an organization similar to this. They not only had enough food for our entire Christmas dinner BUT my brothers and me actually got like 5 gifts each that year. Wow how times have changed for me. People's generosity and selflessness made us feel so loved that year. I actually got to go to school after Christmas break with new clothes that year too!!! My church does something exactly like this. Luv it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
