The US Marine Corps has been a symbol of pride for our nation for 240 years, sacrificing greatly for their countrymen and always regarded with honor and respect.
While known for their bravery in combat, Marines often don’t receive the recognition they deserve for their charitable efforts outside of military service, particularly when it comes to helping children.
Toys For Tots, founded by Major Bill Hendricks, USMC, in 1947, began as a small initiative to provide toys for less fortunate children but has since grown into a nationwide program with increasing donations each year. As Christmas approaches, Toys For Tots needs our support more than ever.
In the iconic 1997 Christmas commercial titled “Guard Duty,” a heartwarming moment unfolds as an adorable boy approaches a stoic Marine on duty. Despite their disciplined demeanor, the Marine’s reaction to the child is priceless. Watch and consider sharing this piece of American history for a good cause.

My nаmе is Mаriа, I аm 53 yеаrs оld, аnd I hаvе bееn mаrriеd fоr 32 yеаrs
My name is Maria, I am 53 years old, and I have been married to my husband for 32 years. We have two daughters who no longer live with us.
For 15 years, my relationship with my husband was beautiful, with some minor issues, as is the case in any family. In 1995, due to a bank loan, we lost the apartment we were living in. With two young children, we were forced to move in with my parents.
Three years later, my husband went to France, and I followed, leaving our daughters with my parents. We both worked for two years and managed to buy a house.
