Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island and Eastern Recruiting Region commanding general, Brig. Gen. Walker Field, hosted the annual Christmas Reception on Saturday, Dec. 3, aboard MCRD Parris Island.

Following the tour, guests enjoyed a small concert at the Lyceum featuring the Parris Island Marine Band along with Gunny Claus and his elf, Pvt. Franklin Norbet Elf. The reception also allowed the depot the opportunity to collect toys in the annual Marine Corps Reserve’s Toys for Tots campaign. Cpl. Zachary Foshee/USMC
