US Marine Sergeant Christmas - a photo on Flickriver

            Had the privilege of attending the Marine's "Toys for Tots" Christmas gift drive.  All across the US, they collect toys for families in need. You are probably wondering what's up in with them collecting toys in Ottawa.  Well a few years ago, the Marines posted at the US embassy decided to make the Ottawa Ronald McDonald House the recipient of their labour of love. 

They collect toys for the sick kids staying at the house, which are used for the holiday season and through out the year when other kids are at the house on their birthday.

A few more shots in the comments, including some with the US Ambassador to Canada, Mr Jacobson.  A heart warming event for sure and kind of cool to see the Marines in their dress uniforms
