This National Foster Care Month, Marine Toys for Tots, is providing hope to children who needed most.

Staff Sergeant James Caldwell, who grew up in foster care himself, shares that while handing out gifts at a Toys for Tots distribution event,

a little girl looked up at him, reached into her bag, pulled out a stuffed animal, and said,

Ensuring every child, including those in foster care, experiences the kindness that can transform their future.

I remember that. I remember that.

Yeah, a highly persecuted man who just wanted to get an eye all the time.

And was incarcerated many times forward. And the next thing you know, it's legal.

And he's a gubernatorial candidate.

You know, it's really crazy about Jersey politics and all you need to know is that back in the day when I was at 101.1.5 radio, I was voted the ninth most powerful person in New Jersey state politics.
