Note: I checked this out with snopes and google - it is true.
(Note from me: No you didn't! http://www.snopes.com/politics/military/starbucks.asp Like the cake, this story's a lie!)
WON'T BE DRINKING STARBUCKS ANYMORE...
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 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, or you can discard it and no one will ever know.
Thanks very much for your support. I know you'll all be there again when I deploy once more.
Semper Fidelis.

Also, don't forget that when the TwinTradeTowers 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.
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
