Operation Santa is remembering the 9-11 attacks by giving back to the troops.  The organization is collecting stocking stuffers Sunday at the Walmarts in Normal and in Bloomington.  Sharon McCauley with Operation Santa says this is a way for people to contribute to the men and women who protect their freedoms.

The group wants to fill 20-thousand stockings by November, which will then go to overseas troops during the holidays.  Trucks will be taking donations in the Walmart parking lots from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday.
