I was a military wife for 30 years. In the very early years, the biggest presents my son got at Christmas were from the VFW. Since then, with knowledge, I have made sure that other young sons of service men had ample presents. And my young son thought it was an awesome deal! He felt like Santa, even though he was six years old!
God bless you and all the Marines who have kept this tradition going! Thanks!
