Toys For Tots
I want to point out a group that has been making things happen on many fronts, and at this time of year, for the last 60 years, they have been making things happen for many boys and girls with their Toys for Tots program.
Yesterday, Cosette and I took a bag of toys down to our local Marine recruiting station to donate. As we were leaving the house, Cosette said we would be like Santa Clause, but we should use the door, and not the chimney. I told her we would give them to the Marines and they would help find the boys and girls to give them too. She helped me carry the toys in to give to the Marines. It is not only nice to give, but to teach her about giving.
As a former Airborne Army Sniper, I know how important it is to have a mission, goals, and objectives. This is one of the reasons I teach these things.
Here are the mission, goal, and objectives for the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program as listed on their official website: http://www.toysfortots.org/
MISSION: The mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.
GOAL:The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a shiny new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to needy youngsters that will motivate them to grow into responsible, productive, patriotic citizens and community leaders.
OBJECTIVES: The objectives of Toys for Tots are to help needy children throughout the United States experience the joy of Christmas; to play an active role in the development of one of our nation's most valuable natural resources - our children; to unite all members of local communities in a common cause for three months each year during the annual toy collection and distribution campaign; and to contribute to better communities in the future.
Please take the time this year to donate to this wonderful program.
I'd like to extend a very big thanks to everyone involved, everyone who donates, and especially those in uniform who are making it happen.
