STARBUCKS DENIES COFFEE TO MARINES
Recently Marines in Iraq wrote to Starbucks because they wanted to
let them know how much they liked their coffees and to request that
they send some of it to the troops there.
Starbucks replied, telling the Marines "thank you for their support
of their business, but that Starbucks does not support the war, nor
anyone in it, and that they would not send the troops their brand of
coffee.
So as not to offend Starbucks, maybe we should not support them by
buying any of their products! As a war vet writing to fellow patriots,
I feel we should get this out in the open. I know this war might not
be very popular with some folks, but that doesn't mean we don't support
the boys on the ground fighting street-to-street and house-to-house
for what they and I believe is right.
If you feel the same as I do then pass this along, or you can
discard it and no one will never know. Thanks very much for your
support. I know you'll all be there again when I deploy once more.
"Semper Fidelis."
