Question

Subject: NO COFFEE FOR THE MARINES (Not StarBucks anyway)







NO COFFEE FOR THE MARINES

Their coffee is tasting more and more bitter.....

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.

PLEASE DON'T DELETE THIS .. ALLOW IT TO BE PASSED TO ALL IN MEMORY OF ALL
THE TROOPS WHO HAVE DIED SO THAT WE MAY HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE TO
SUPPORT THEM OR NOT!!!
