A Hilton Head woman has made it her life's mission to thank our men and women in uniform, and she’s not letting anything stop her. Sugar, flour and a whole lot of love.That’s Hilton Head's Jeanette Cram’s special recipe.Nicknamed the "Cookie Lady," her nonprofit Treat the Troops has sent 7.5 million cookies to our deployed military men and women.“A cookie, that just is home. That’s what they’re missing," Cram said.Cram has been baking and shipping her homemade chocolate chip cookies to soldiers since 1990. Her efforts were even recognized by President George W. Bush, who invited her to the White House.“It’s the letters from the soldiers that keep you going," Cram said. Unfortunately, a foot injury forced her to hang up her apron for almost a year...And she started working with SYNERGY caregiver Julia Marshall to get back on her feet.“I asked, 'Why you call yourself the cookie lady?' And she goes, 'Because I send cookies to soldiers,'" Marshall said.Marshall pieced together Cram sent her nephew Abner Alvarez cookies when he was a sergeant in the US Army, and he wanted to thank the cookie lady face-to-face."We got some of those cookies, and it meant a lot to us," Alvarez said over a FaceTime call."Y’all deserved them. You deserved every single bite," Cram responded.That’s what gave Cram some extra motivation to return to her passion.Now, with the help of Marshall, the Cookie Lady is doing what she loves once again."It’s not often I get to talk to somebody who got the cookies. And now I gotta get back in that kitchen!" Cram added.
