I have indeed confirmed the fact that Starbucks charged rescue workers
$130.00 for 3 cases of bottled water on September 11, 2001, so the
following info that was passed on to me would not be surprising to me at
all!! Logan
Dear everyone: Please pass this along to anyone you know, this needs to
get out in the open. Recently Marines over in Iraq supporting this
country in OIF wrote to Starbucks because they wanted to let them know
how much they liked their coffee and try to score some free coffee
grounds. Starbucks wrote back telling the Marines thanks for their
support in their business, but that they don't support the War and
anyone in it and that they won't send them the Coffee. So as not to
offend them we should not support in buying any Starbucks products. As a
War vet and writing to you patriots 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 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 I'll never know. Thanks very much for your support to me,
and I know you'll all be there again here soon when I deploy once more.
Semper Fidelis,
