A heartfelt thanks from the troops
Editor’s note: The following letter was sent to Burbank resident
Doris Vick and other members of the San Fernando Valley WAVES, who
send cookies to American troops around the world as part of Operation
Cookie Lift.
Dear Doris, Diane, Cam and all the Girl Scouts from Troop 263,
Hello from Eagle Base, Tuzla, Bosnia. We received your package
today and were we pleasantly surprised. Girl Scout cookies are in
great demand here. They are a very popular item. We thank you so very
much.
I have made little handouts for the soldiers with all of your
e-mail addresses and physical addresses so that they may write their
notes of appreciation. You have no idea how much these people
appreciate boxes from home. I, myself, have been in the Balkans for
four years with the different units. I can say, firsthand, that all
of the soldiers just love this kind of appreciation from home. Thank
you for your kind thoughts and your generosity.
