Operation Thin Mint®
"A taste of home and a note to show we care" for military troops
Everyone's invited to join Girl Scouts, friends, families, cookie customers, VIPs and military troops aboard USS Midway for the 2011 Operation Thin Mint® Sendoff.
Since 2002, San Diego Girl Scout troops and their cookie customers have sent more than 1.6 million boxes of America's favorite cookies and countless notes of support to deployed troops serving in Afghanistan, Iraq, Africa, Japan, Korea, and the Persian Gulf, Western Pacific and Indian Ocean.
Every dollar donated purchases cookies, since American President Lines (APL) generously provides free shipping.
"Grown men do cry. The Thin Mint cookies brought back memories of home. With all our hearts, thank you for thinking of us."
— Deanna Moore, Supply Officer, USNS PATHFINDER (T-AGS-60)
