Marines go on shopping spree for Toys for Tots
By Laura Rillos KVAL NewsEUGENE,Ore. -- Sgt. Karl Strong, a U.S. Marine, faced an important decision Thursday afternoon: Transformers or Star Trek? Strong was one of several Marines, sailors and firefighters who filled cart after cart with toys at the Eugene Toys R Us store. The action figures, dolls, guitars and other goodies picked out will go to Lane County children through this year's Toys for Tots program. Strong's came down to this: "What I would play with." He went with Transformers. Last year, Toys for Tots gave 30,000 toys to 8,000 Lane County families. "We're expecting there to be a higher need but we're hoping people also step up and donate a little more if you're fortunate enough to donate," said 1st Sgt. Alejandro Quiroz. |
