I have a few friends over in the "big sand box" (Iraq). They sent this to me to passalong to people in the states. I know Alot of us are veterans so you can choose to suport or not to. Feel free to move this where it should go.



I never liked them anyway!!

> Recently Marines over in Iraq supporting this country in OIF wrote to
Starbucks because they wanted to let them know how much they liked their coffee
and try to score some free coffee grounds. Starbucks wrote back telling the
Marines thanks for their support in their business, but that they don't support
the War and anyone in it and that they won't send them the Coffee.

> So as not to offend them we should not support in buying any Starbucks
products. As a War vet and writing to you 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.

and I'll never know.

again here soon when I deploy once more.

It happens to all of us. No harm done. Starbucks is an addiction for me.
