MILILANI — Getting into the Christmas spirit, the Soldiers of the 65th Engineer Battalion, 130th Eng.
Brigade, 8th Theater Sustainment Command, and the students of their partnership school, Mililani Middle
School, came together to hold a toy drive, Nov. 30, for two organizations that embody the true nature of
Christmas: Toys for Tots and the Make a Wish Foundation.
Community supporters brought and gave more than 500 toys during the drive; toys ranged from an action figure
to full-youth bicycles.
“It’s a really special event,” said 1st Lt. Courtney Heaps, assistant plans officer, 65th Eng. Bn., 130th Eng. Bde.
“Many people have tunnel vision when it comes to their family and their community, so we are trying to get
these kids to see that a lot of other children are not as blessed and not as fortunate, and the response has been
overwhelmingly positive. They are seeing that they can really make a difference and make someone’s
Christmas a little bit better.”
The battalion visited the school a week prior to get the kids excited about the upcoming drive, and for every
three toys donated, the students and Soldiers would make a lap around their school’s soccer field. The two
organizations split the toys that were donated, and each was very appreciative of all the community support.
“The only way Toys for Tots can work is if the community is involved,” said Edward Hans, primary Toys for
Tots coordinator for Maui and Oahu. “Without events like this, it doesn’t work. We really rely on these events
to get our toys and help the community.”
Lori Anderson, official wish granter with the Make a Wish Foundation, echoed Hans’ comments.
“This is just a fantastic opportunity for us,” she said. “We are in need of toys for our toy closet. We have about
70 kids spread across the island that are waiting for their wishes to be granted.
I can’t tell you enough how much this means to our kids. We can’t show our appreciation enough.”
Service members helping other service members was a rewarding experience for all, said Sgt. Dennis Marcely.
“It was great because we got to get out and get some exercise while helping other Soldiers in need,” Marcely
explained.
The 84th Eng. Bn. will be deploying to Guam early next year. HHC Soldiers expressed appreciation for the unit
cohesion generated during the gearing up for their deployment.

Schofield- The Hui `O Na Wahine thrift store on Schofield Barracks is holding several winter blow-out shelf-clearing sales before its winter break closure on Thursday December 20. The store will reopen again after its winter break and roof replacement on January 3.
