Re: Screw Starbucks (Story is FALSE)

[Guest guest]

You really got to watch these internet email stories. Most are scams. I

heard about this several months ago.

http://www.snopes.com/politics/military/starbucks.asp

Starbucks has actually been quite generous to our troops. Read the Snopes

article on the matter then decide for yourself and go enjoy a cup of

Starbucks finest.

Personally, I hate Starbucks coffee but only because I don't like coffee in

just about any form. I do often enjoy their pastries though. I have found

only one brand I can somewhat enjoy which is made by Harmony Coffee called

Autumn Spice.

Hi Kirk,

This is very upsetting to me b/c I frequent Starbucks...

Is there a way to make sure that this is true and not an exaggeration before

I give up my chai tea?

Thank you

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

me an we do n't s upport 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 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! ! !

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. G O GET ' EM

AMER ICA . STAND-UP FOR OURSELVES!
