The wife of a Webster soldier is on a mission of her own -- sending cold milk to her husband and others serving in Iraq.

Kim Furhmann says she couldn't believe her husband, Major Roy Fuhrmann, was drinking Gatorade with his Chrismas cookies. She decided he needed a cold glass of milk.

Since then, she has shipped more than 30 gallons of cold milk to Iraq during the past month.

She's received many e-mails from soldiers who say the milk reminds them of home. One soldier was so excited he crushed up his chocolate-chip cookies, put them in his milk and ate them with a spoon.

It took a couple of trial runs for Fuhrmann to figure out the best way to the milk overseas. But she did. And she got some help.

Kwik Trip Convenience Stores donated up to 100 gallons of milk and $500 to help cover some postage costs.

Continental Carbonic Products in Burnsville has donated the dry ice and shipping materials.

To Donate: Kim Fuhrmann is raising money to help pay for packing and shipping milk to troops in Iraq. Checks should be made out to Fuhrmann and mailed to 3161 Cass Trail, Webster, MN 55088.
