Cookies and More
Thanks to a lovely bunch of people just south of us, some soldiers in Iraq will soon be munching Girl Scout cookies. I've heard of other groups around the country pooling their cookie resources to ship similar treats. My own family will soon have a soldier in a neighboring country over that direction, so I'm starting my hunt for things to tuck into small packages. If you know of someone in military service overseas and you want to treat them (and their fellow troops) it's a good idea to choose items carefully. Books for Soldiers has a good suggested list that will help you get started. And Operation Band Aid has more information on sending treats and other practical assistance to wounded soldiers who have been transferred to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany.
