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.
Thanks very much for your support. I know you'll all be there again when I deploy once more.
