WON'T BE DRINKING AT STARBUCKS ANYMORE
Note: Was checked on snopes and google - it is true.

Recently Marines in Iraq wrote to Starbucks because they wanted Starbucks to know how much they liked their coffees and requested they send some coffee to the troops there.
Starbucks replied - telling the Marines, "Thank you for your support and business, but Starbucks does not support the war, nor anyone in it, nor will they send the troops their brand of coffee."
So as not to offend Starbucks, perhaps we should not support them by buying any Starbucks products!
I feel we should get this out in the open. I know this war may not be popular with some folks, but that doesn't mean we stop supporting the boys on the ground who are 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 ever know
Thanks very much for your support. I know you'll all be there again when I deploy once more

Also, remembering the tragedy of the Twin Trade Towers and how the fire fighters and rescue personnel, went out of their way to help the survivors and workers. They got them water from a Starbucks store near by who charged them for the water !
Just a note: STARBUCKS had stores on several Military Bases in the UnitedStates. They are now being removed because of this.
