Martha was incorrect in telling viewers that homemade cookies can be sent to an unknown Soldier through anysoldier.com. Their website says, "Due to concerns for the health and safety of the soldiers, please do not send home-cooked anything to Soldiers other then to your relatives or people who know you. Factory packaged only. Sorry. The Soldiers are told to throw away anything that is not in a factory package." Report as Inappropriate 4/07/10 at 12:14 a.m. ET 3.
