MESSAGE FROM THE DETACHMENT COMMANDANT

President Regan once said, "Some people wonder all their lives if they've made a difference, Marines don't have that problem”. I believe the same can be said of the members of LCPL Jacob D. Hayes Detachment, Marine Corps League, who have given of themselves tirelessly this past year, from assisting Marines to supporting our Tots for Tots campaign. I thank you all for what you do and I'm looking forward to doing even more in 2021. Wishing each of you and your families a blessed and Happy New Year!

Semper Fidelis!

R.H "Panther" LeGall

Detachment Commandant

TOYS FOR TOTS

Thank you everyone who helped support the Toys For Tots Campaign this year. This was a challenging year, with an increase in demand and restrictions/event cancelations due to COVID-19. Even with the challenges we were able to distribute almost 43,000 toys to help bring Christmas to over 21,000 children in Collin County. A big thank you, to our Associate Member and Toys For Tots Coordinator, Maria LeGall along with her team and all the volunteers.
