Received in an email this morning. Give your input. Me personally I think it is messed up if it is true.
Starbucks Coffee
"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
in 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, 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 of
me, and I know you'll all be there again when I deploy once more.
Semper Fidelis.
