While shopping with the Light of My Life, I stumbled on -believe it or not - theses cookies. They're a genuine product of Australia (they're darn' good cookies, by gosh), and the VFW gets 4% of the profits from their sale. On the back of the package is a brief history of and mission statement fo the VFW, and this:
"Century-Long Allies
Australian and American soldiers have been serving side-by-side since China in 1900. New Zealanders joined the Australians in World War I to form the famed Australian-New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC). Together with the Americans, they have fought in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, Afghanistan,and Iraq. As with all armies, home front support was vital. To support the troops overseas, women of these two countries baked what became known as the ANZAC cookie. This treat was a great boost to morale. In a similar spirit, Australian-based UNIBIC and VFW have joined forces to present this product which provides direct support to America's veterans."
