"Again, thank you so much for the overwhelming support you have given us by sending us Girl Scout cookies. Your ability to organize and send such a large number of cookies is amazing, and we are truly grateful for the support that you as a community give to the U.S. Forces in Afghnaistan."

“The Officers and Sappers of 370th EN Co (SAPPER) send heartfelt gratitude to you and other supporters with this recent gift box. During this economic crisis that has gripped the world, YOU still make the extra effort to support soldiers, all of whom you’ve probably never met, with the little things, so we know someone still cares. As you can imagine, . . . the food nearly disappeared within minutes. I do believe the Thin Mints were gone first—a soldier’s favorite. . . It always brings a big smile on everyone’s face when the box (was) opened and dumped on the table. It is almost like young children at Christmas. . . . Thank you for keeping the phrase alive—“We will never forget."
CPT Douglas Massie
“Thank you for the Girl Scout cookies. I am deployed in Iraq and my “Dominion family" sent me some of your Girl Scout cookies. The cookies were really a treat. I am very fortunate to have such a caring and giving family."
MSG Anncarol Johnson
“What an awesome surprise today at mail call. I was thrilled to see the Girl Scout cookies arrive… You should have seen the faces of the soldiers in my office as I pulled out their favorites; they were licking their lips! I was nice and shared . . .(a little). Thank you for all that you do for America’s soldiers and for supporting us. It means sooooo much to us."
SGT Jane Strand
“The 25th Regional Network Operations and Security Center in Afghanistan
received some of the cookies you donated.
On behalf of all of us here, and all of the soldiers, sailors, airmen,
and marines who are enjoying a taste of home through your efforts, thank
you very much. It means a lot to us out here to know that folks back
home are thinking about us.
Please pass along our thanks to all of your organization for your
thoughts, prayers, support, and of course the cookies."

“I wanted to drop you a quick note of thanks for the Cookies we recently received in a package from Bev Robinson at Dominion. My wife is a Dominion employee in VA. Bev tells me the cookies came all the way from CT. CT is a great state and I really love the coconut Samoas! They really made my day.. I was able (although it was difficult!) to share the other boxes of cookies with many of the other Navy Seabees stationed here in Iraq."
LT Booth
"…Several days ago I received some of your wonderful cookies in a care package from Bev Robinson. I wish I could send you photos of the smiles that your cookies provided.

Thank you ever so much, not just for the cookies, but also for the warm-hearted generosity and smiles that you’ve placed on people’s faces in this part of the world."
