This was forwarded to me by one of my friends, I found it interesting...

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! 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.

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 IGNORE 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! ! !

Also, don't forget that when the Twin Trade Towers were hit the fire fighters and rescue workers went to Starbucks because it was close by for water for the survivors and workers and Starbucks charged them! ! !

JUST A NOTE TO THIS; STARBUCKS HAD STORES ON SEVERAL MILITARY BASES IN THE UNITED STATES. THEY ARE NOW BEING REMOVED BECAUSE OF THIS. GO GET 'EM AMERICA. STAND-UP FOR OURSELVES!

I don't buy Starbucks anyways. I rarely drink coffee, and when I do I don't want to be bombarded with 50 new terms that I've never heard of. How does black, hot, and two scoops sound? Sounds like I can make it at home.

I guess Blackduck's next post will be about Oscar Meyer refusing to send free hotdogs to the Marines as well because 'they don't support the war'? ROTFLMAOL!!!
