Nearly 600 volunteers helped America 4R Marines stuff over 5,500 holiday stockings that will bring home comforts to Marines and Sailors serving overseas.
Over the weekend, nearly 600 volunteers worked diligently in the Upper Moreland Middle School (UMMS), where they transformed its cafeteria into a stocking-stuffing operation that would make Santa’s workshop proud. But, instead of just small toys or hot chocolate going into the Christmas stockings, the volunteers made it a point to include Clean-Lubricate-Preserve (CLP) gun-wipes and bore snake rifle cleaners. “We’re not a care-package organization,” Patty Lewis, founder and president of America 4R Marines, said. “This is our end-of-the-year ‘Oorah.’” For the last six years, the Willow Grove-based nonprofit has held its “Operation Merry Christmas Marines and Sailors,” event, which took place from the evening of Dec. 9 to the late afternoon …
