A moving and heartwarming movie from 1997 has recently become very popular.
In the famous ad, a boy goes up to a Marine guard and asks him if he is Santa Claus.
At first, though, the guard doesn’t seem to pay attention to the boy; he never looks at him when the boy looks up at him with hope.
The boy is not deterred and goes on to show the guard his Christmas list, hoping that the guard will grant his wishes.
To everyone’s surprise, the guard puts out his left hand and takes the boy’s list.
This moving ad serves a very important purpose: it raises awareness of the Toys For Tots program run by the Marine Corps Reserve.
