Trransformers for Tots
Posted: Fri Dec 06, 2013 4:51 pm
I couldn't think of a better subject for a first time post.
I'm throwing a gauntlet down in the forums I frequent, and I've been nosing around in this one for months without posting - but this one needs to be said in as many as I can visit.
I visited some of our local USMC Toys for Tots drop sites, and what I saw in there made my stomach churn. If there was anything in them at all, most of it was really cheap and crappy dollar store toys.
Now I'm sure there's a lot of us that think needy kids can't be choosy. But I really don't know what's worse - seeing this crud under a tree waiting for a unfortunate kid, or watching Marine Corp officers carry crappy toys. These kids need hope, not junk. And our boys in uniform deserve to have some good stuff to carry to these kids.
So here's my gauntlet on the ground. I've challenged my buddies on Star Wars forums to load the boxes with Star Wars toys. I want to see if the gang on here wants to spread the word and start burying Clone Troopers with a horde of Decepticons at their local drop sites.
Helping the US Marine Corps help kids have a Christmas, and spreading our love of Transformers with it. It's a win-win-WIN! What do ya say, guys?
