Though much has changed in the many years TSU has been around, one thing that will never change and that is Toy Soldier Day.

What exactly do we do on Toy Soldier Day?
WE HAVE FUN!

I would like to let you know that the purpose of Toy Soldier Day isn’tto celebrate founding the Army of Toy Soldiers,, its a day focused entirely on the Toy Soldier themselves.

March 4th is usually the weekend we celebrate Toy Solider Day. It’s customary to put 9-5 duties aside, and do that which makes you happy. Real fun, the type of fun that at the end you think to yourself today was a GOOD day.

Now before you ask me what should you do. I would like to suggest you find things that makes you happy. You could ask your friends, family or even other Toy Soldiers and plan an invasion to a theme park, go to a show, or a day out in the park.

It really is entirely subjective to you, but the two most important elements of Toy Soldier Day is to have fun and be happy.

As we prepare for our Toy Solider Day I thought I would share a list of children’s books you can share with your family. Charlie and I are packing the books we picked out and heading to the local park.
