Dear Member,
Please read the forwarded message from one of our troops in Iraq.
I for one will NOT be buying from STARBUCKS in future.

Regards,

Keith

Recently, Royal 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 support them by NOT
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 mean we don't support 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. Thanks very much for your support. I know you'll all be
there again when I deploy once more.

PLEASE DON'T DELETE THIS. .. PLEASE PASS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR E- MAIL
LIST, IN MEMORY OF ALL THE TROOPS WHO HAVE DIED, SO THAT WE MAY HAVE THE
RIGHT TO CHOOSE!

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! ! !

AN ADDED NOTE TO THIS: STARBUCKS HAD STORES ON SEVERAL MILITARY BASES IN
THE UNITED STATES. THEY ARE NOW BEING REMOVED BECAUSE OF THIS.

There are 227 Starbucks stores across the UK, and there's no doubt that
our soldiers would get the same response from this company, so let us do
our bit and boycott Starbucks to show them how despicable their actions are.
