Sailors get sweets from back home
Sailors aboard USS Abraham Lincoln stood in line recently to get a little taste of home.
Sailors waited to get two boxes each of Girl Scout Cookies donated by the Girl Scout councils of Washington state. Almost 8,500 boxes of cookies were loaded on board, as the Lincoln was pierside at Changi Naval Base in Singapore.
The cookies were stacked on pallets and shipped to the Lincoln. Some of the boxes of cookies were decorated with snowflakes, butterflies and stickers. Others had drawings of flags and animals, but most had “Thank you” and other comments of praise for the sailors.
The ship is on a scheduled deployment to the western Pacific.
