The 501st here in Sasebo had to set some kinda record... We recieved in 6 hours of trooping on two days about 3000 in toys. I will post pics after i get them back, but WOW!

 

The Kids of the Sankai Orphanage are in for a great Christmas thanks to the warm hearts of the Sasebo Navy community here on base.

 

I have been told this is the best turn out in a long time thanks to the 501st involvement, and it was a great troop. 1 TK, 1 TB, 1 SL and a Jedi made the troop all from the USS Tortuga.

 

I will take the toys to the kids on the 24th i hope, so santa can come on the 25th.

 

Feels good to be a part of this, and the responce from the comunity has been awsome.

 

The XO of our ship has plans for us when we visit other countries, so I might be a part of a travaling Naval detachment of the 501st!

To represent our country and our group is awsome.

Just wanted to spread some cheer, and share with you all a great event.

I heard from the Marines that the Toys for Tots drives in Japan are absolutely insane. That is FREAKIN' AWESOME! Great job guys, things like this are the most rewarding part of being part of our Legion!

Yes! that is great to hear that one part of our DOD community might be embracing the 501st as a sort of good will ambassadors :duim::salute::trooper:

I hope to do it again next year, and we gave him the site addy for the Japanese garrison, so I hope to get a call needing troops. This has been a great experence and it made my year to see those kids happy like they were...

Have a happy Christmas everyone, god bless.
