  DEEP RIVER, CT, Jan 22 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
 The Connecticut Cookie Brigade (CCB), which sends cookies to U.S. military
personnel at home and abroad monthly, has launched a website in support of
its efforts.  The site presents the CCB's mission, details the ways in which
people can volunteer or provide monetary support, and contains letters and
photos
from military personnel and their loved ones.

    "I have two sons in the military," said Debra Schaefer, founder of the
CCB,"one of whom is in Afghanistan.  In my fear and helplessness, I had a
choice: do nothing -- or make a difference in a very big, very scary
world.The CCB has taught us there are lots of families like ours in our
community. 
And communities grow every time you do a kind deed, every time you extend your
hand to another, every time you need help and have the courage to ask for it."

    The CCB site was created -- and will be hosted and maintained -- by
O'BrienCommunications Group (OCG).  According to OCG, it's a labor of love and a
gesture of gratitude and respect.

    "What Debbie Schaefer has endured is heartbreaking," said Mark O'Brien,
OCG's
principal.  "What she's accomplished with the CCB is heartwarming and
inspirational.  Donating a website is the least we can do for the courageous
troops who sacrifice daily for our freedom to make a living -- and for the
generous spirits of Debbie and all of her volunteers and supporters."
