US Marines thank fire department volunteers
Captain Galloway and Sergeant Ferris from the United States Marine Corps Reserve Infantry Battalion in Garden City came to the Rockville Centre Fire Department Council meeting to thank Chief Mark Murray and its members for their tremendous contribution to the Toys For Tots program.
The Rockville Centre Fire Department collected more than 35 bags of new toys for distribution not only to the needy in the community, but also to children of local Marines currently deployed overseas.
Help for Long Island's Hungry and Homeless
