U.S. Marines assigned to Delta Company, 4th Law Enforcement Battalion, deliver toys to children living in Koyukuk, Nolato, Kaltag, Ruby and Galina as part of the Toys for Tots program, December 8th through December 15th. After traveling to a hub of villages via aircraft provided by the 144th Airlift Squadron, Alaska Air National Guard, the Marines journeyed to different villages on snow machines. This year three teams of Marines traveled to numerous villages in the vicinities of Kotzebue, Galena and McGrath. Toys for Tots is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve with a goal of delivering, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive and patriotic citizens.
