Corporal Benjamin Schorr
Corporal Benjamin Schorr, Scout Sniper having served in the United States Marine Corps, recently returned safely home from his last deployment serving his country.

Corporal Drew Geib

We honor him and our fond memories of his days on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, where he inhaled many Gingersnaps in Ms. Jeanne’s kitchen. Drew’s passion for Jeanne’s Gingersnaps served as the inspiration for our Patriot Packaging, where the first container was shipped to Drew while in boot camp.

Lance Corporal Brady Scott
Brady is our very own ginger. (Everyone loves a ginger!) Brady is why it all began . . . it was his kindergarten school fundraiser where his Mom’s Pumpkin Rolls made their debut. Having served in the United States Marine Corps, LCpl. Scott recently completed his service to his country and has returned safely home to the Eastern Shore of Maryland, where he frequently visits Mom’s home to resume inhaling her creations. (Brady’s favorite is Jeanne’s Pumpkin Rolls, which he prefers warmed in the microwave). Here’s to Mom’s Hero! “Ooh-Rah & Semper Fi!”
