Marines of Headquarters Company, Combat Logistics Regiment 37, throw candy from their "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" float during the Camp Kinser, Okinawa, Christmas parade in December 2007. Sgt. Cody Perry said the float was his idea and it took the unit about three weeks to turn the up-armored 7-ton truck into a reindeer. "It was definitely worth it," he said. The float won third place. (Cindy Fisher/Stars and Stripes)
