Cookies Sent to Middle East

I was watching the news just now at 10 and saw a news story about 200 girl scouts in Massachusetts sending cookies to the Middle East. Over 10,000 boxes were sent overseas. They said that it was to remind them of home and give them a little bit of what they were missing. I think that is a great idea because I've talked to a soldier in Iraq and he told me how much the little things matter and how much they miss those things.
