What a fantastic day it was for the United States Marine Corps, Toys R Us and all the kiddos who stopped by to check out the military vehicles and equipment. People came in droves to donate new, unwrapped toys as Toys For Tots kicked off this year's campaign.
The Marines are landing!
That is, they're launching their annual Toys for Tots campaign this Saturday (Nov. 5) at the Union Gap Toys R Us, 1401 E. Washington Ave.
In the last few years, retailers opened their doors in the dark cold hours of the morning on the day after Thanksgiving to kick off the Christmas shopping season. This year, they are not even waiting, starting things on Thursday night!
