To all you ex and serving Military personel out there please read and forward the mail below.
We don't have to patronise this firm - the choice is yours
We know some of us enjoy Starbucks coffee but Recently, British 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 Royal 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 on terror 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 please pass this along. Thanks very much for your support. I know you'll all be there again to support us when we deploy once more.

PLEASE BE KIND
ENOUGH AND DON'T DELETE THIS... BUT PLEASE
PASS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR E- MAIL LIST, IN MEMORY OF ALL
THE TROOPS WHO HAVE BEEN WOUNDED, LOST LIMBS AND EVEN DIED,
SO THAT WE MAY HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE !
Also, please 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 We shall leave it up to you Best wishes
