For all of the Starbucks lovers out there.



Starbucks Denies Coffee to Marines !!



Recently Marines in Iraq wrote to Starbucks because they wanted to let the know how much they liked their coffee and to request that they send Starbucks 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 somefolks, 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 DONT 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!!!

I'm changing my coffee buying habit as of tonight.

What the Navy don't know is the Marines have been dumping the WWII bore cleaner in the Navy coffee pots ever since Dec. 08 1941 and drinking good stuff smuggled in from South America by the Air Force.

I'm surprised this hoax is still going around, the last email I got spreading this was well over a year ago. It has been disproved on several websites that check this stuff out like the Urban legend site.
