cpl. Gary Miller and his toys

Great video. My Wife's 6 Aunts and Uncles were given up for adoption very young. They became of age, and found each other again, thank God. 3 are still alive. Hope some day to be able to donate. Semper Fi, and READY-APP.

Great

Wally ,just a GREAT story ! It would be good if all of America could view this. It bring many feelings back to me , One is that the marines and a like would put their trust into the Little children of Vietnam and some times it would end up taking someones life. So many think that we ALL are big bad and full of stuff. Yet Me for one had to learn that it was not unbecoming of a Marine to shed or let a TEAR COME and run down my face. God Bless Gary Miller and All the Gary Millers we have here in America. I think That it our compassion that Countries think is our weakness,But really that's what makes them call on us when their Country has a earthquake, floods or starving to death.

toys for tots

If I had not been out about 29 thousand dollars on the damage to my rent homes because of druggies, I'd buy a whole load of toys, and a bunch for my own Grand Children, but having to have had to rebuild two homes because of methametime and alcohol, I am just able to stay on top. I'm off by about 6 thousand, and the insurance companies only pay about half of what the damage is. Yes its a good program, but if you don't have it, just like the kids, you don't have it. I am NOT going to get rid of these homes having had to pay for them for so long and not missing one payment. They are clear deed, and will stay that way,period. Semper Fi, and READY-APP.

Whether you donate or not,

it's the thought that counts.

I'd like to thank Wally for posting this thread, what ever it takes to get the word out is all any of us can ask for.
And to each of you that give the gift of giving, THANK YOU from all the kids you help put a smile on their faces.

Whether you donate.....

Cpl. Miller. It is a good thing you are doing. I hope the toys are for Children in our 50 States. I allowed several familys that had children to live in very good homes, and only because of the Children. In one home alone there were 5 Children, and they are still living with parents that care of nothing except themselves. The other home had 3 Children. If I had only bought toys instead, close to 40 thousand dollars would have been used for my GrandChildren, and not to re-build what were very good homes needlessly. There is still a good amount of time before Christmas to collect toys for the Children that have nothing. It will take me 3 years to recover. I hope you get many more toys for the Children. Semper Fi, and READY-APP.

Re: Cpl. Gary Miller and his Toys For Tots Story

It's that time of year again, look around you (your town), many need our support. Donate what you can, it will make a difference.

This year the Toys for Tots organization has picked up the video which they now show on their web site, and their facebook page.

Thanks to each of you who are helping in supporting this great mission for our kids.

Semper Fi all
