Dear Friends,
Thank you for your support and donation of cookies and time to
“Operation Cookie.”
Thanks to you, cookies have been delivered to hospitalized, homeless,
and special needs veterans throughout the southland, including
patients at VA hospitals, veterans in area convalescent care
facilities, and to other groups serving physically and emotionally
challenged men and women veterans
We are especially pleased that we received enough cookies to
distribute to veterans attending several area Memorial Day events and
to VFW members who place flags on military graves at cemeteries for
Memorial Day.
We have received numerous thank you notes and telephone calls from
individual veterans as well as organizations. A letter from our Camp
Pendleton liaison, who came to watch our operation in progress before
loading cookie boxes in their van, says:
Words cannot express what a blessing it was to see your wonderful team
boxing up cookies in those beautifully decorated patriotic boxes… On
behalf of our Wounded Marines and troops based at Camp Pendleton we
would like to thank you for your… labor of love to bless our Veterans
and our military with an assortment of cookies. Their faces lit up
with gratitude.
Again, our sincere thanks for your generosity and supporting
““Operation Cookie” for more than 2000 men and women who have served
our country. We wish you a pleasant summer and look forward to you
joining us next year on Wednesday, 22, 2019.
