Starbucks Denies Coffee To Marines!

STARBUCKS DENIES COFFEE TO
MARINES
Recently Marines in Iraq wrote to Starbucks because they wanted to let
themknow 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
youfor their support of their business, but that Starbucks does not
supportthe 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
weshould 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. I know you'llall
be there again when I deploy once more.

PLEASE DON'T 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!!!

Whether we agree with the war or not...the troops are there. I'm sure some OF THEM ...may or may not agree with all of it. The point is...STARBUCKS, ...OUR TROOPS are there...AND THEY SHOULD BE SUPPORTED! I will be passing this on...I hope AMERICANS WILL NO LONGER SUPPORT YOU! Keep your coffee, keep your business...we don't need you. YOU are a supporter of La Raza also...so you should have already lost the American customers...if they all knew the truth and how racist, in my opinion...of course...La Raza really is!...but in not supporting the troops you should be ashamed!....in supporting La Raza...LIKEWISE!...BUT , you seem to be a proud supporter on the La Raza website...thats really something to be proud of!

I HOPE YOUR COFFEE ROTS ON THE SHELF!

I believe this is a hoax: http://www.snopes.com/politics/military/starbucks.asp

I can also ask my daugher (but it's around 4 am where I'm typing right now) who is a long-time Starbucks manager. It doesn't sound right.

They are still supporters of an , in my opinion, anti American organization!
