Marines have always been big on Christmas. Have you not heard of 'Toys for Tots'? We have big hearts and generous souls. :mrgreen:
AuntiE should recognize those traits inherent to Marines. :wink:
What do you have, Popeye...an anchor tattoo? :lol:

Toys for Tots is a program run by the USMC Reserves to provide toys for needy/deserving children who might otherwise do without. Marines collect new or slightly used toys throughout October, November and December to distribute to those children by December 25th. I assumed it was nationwide. It is big in Texas and has been for years. I am surprised you seem to have never heard of it.
I am told they are delivered by Marines in full uniform...often-times, Dress Blues. They are armed only with a smile. :thumbup: :mrgreen:

Unless that stick is 1400 miles* long, it can be as sharp as you want it to be. :mrgreen:
