Niwot Patriotic Cookie Moms send holiday cheer to troops

During the first week of December, the Niwot Patriotic Cookie Moms packed and sent 25 boxes full of Christmas goodies to troops deployed overseas. Hattie Steege and her daughter Michelle added some festive flair to the boxes, which were then loaded with home-baked cookies and other holiday treats for military personnel all over the world who will be away from their families during the holidays. One of those boxes reached an Army Major, who sent the following response:

Good afternoon,

I sincerely appreciate your kind gesture of sending a package full of cookies for the holidays. It was a surprise to know that I had mail and a joy when we opened the nicely decorated box full of wonderful treats. The uniformed military folks, department of defense civilians, and myself wish to thank your organization from the bottom of our hearts. Our stomachs send their regards as well :)

We wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and hope that we can one day thank you in person when we are in the area.

Sincerely,

J.A.

Major, U.S. Army
