Donald Borchelt, 98 OSS commander and Chief Master Sgt. Mark Darden, 98th Range Wing superintendent, pose with packaged boxes of holiday cookies at the college Dec. 2.

This is the fifth year Le Cordon Bleu has sent cookies to deployed servicemembers and the school has provided more than 40,000 cookies since starting the program.
