For the past decade we have issued the following CHALLENGE. Show us a child who had not recieved a toy for Christmas. No one to date has ever come forth to claim the challenge. It is virtually impossible for any child who is a resident of Citrus County to be denied the Magic of Christmas. We the Marines of Detachment 819 will not fail in providing toys to any needy child of our county. We maintain a reserve of resources to make this possible. No child will go without!
