Dear Supporters and Providers for MOMS Cookies, Inc.,
I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for
all the support and...you have given to me. I am now on my third deployment, this time to Afghanistan, and this is the
second deployment where I've received Care Packages from you. You all are so wonderful and give so much. It is
truly an honor to be serving my country and defending it and knowing that there are so many back home that care and support
the Soldiers makes it all worthwhile. You are a great Organization and I love all that you're doing to support the Troops.
Thanks again to all the Donators and Volunteers for
all that you do!

is a serious morale booster in the middle of a deployment! From all of us at the XXX Group, thank you very much!
