171220-N-LW591-005 GROTON, Conn. (Dec.20, 2017) Machinist Mate 1st Class Scott Gold and Electronics Technician 1st Class Alexander Kingsbury both assigned to the Virginia-class submarine Pre-Commissioning Unit (PCU) Colorado (SSN 788), sort through gifts donated by the ships crew before delivering them to Thames River Detachment, Marine Corps League, Dec 20. Members of Colorado's First Class Petty Officer Association(FCPOA) came up with the idea to promote the charity during Colorado's recent underway. The crew was able to return to their home port with just a few days left to shop and donate before Toys for Tot's delivery deadline for this year's Christmas holiday. Colorado is a new vessel that’s set to be commission in March 2018. This year marks the first year the Colorado participated in the Toys for Tots charity event. Colorado's donations will be distributed to fulfill the local community request and will directly contribute to the missions and goals of the Toys for Tots Program to deliver, a new toy at Christmas and a message of hope to economically disadvantaged children.
