A U.S. soldier in Iraq swaps boxes of Girl Scout cookies with other soldiers in his battalion. Recently, the Rusk/Alto Girl Scout Troop 139 sent 100 boxes of Girl Scout cookies and over 24 movies to the 264th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion of the U.S. Army, led by 1st Lt. Brandon McElroy, son of Ronnie McElroy of Rusk. The cookie drive was part of the Girl Scouts' "Troop to Troop" program. PHOTO: 1ST LT. BRANDON MCELROY
