SAY IT AIN'T TRUE - PLEASE!
So - I get crapola in my mailbox all day long. Unless the title amuses me I generally delete it if it is started with a FW:
So this said Starbucks and you know me and my love for the House of Bean!
I know a lot of these mass emails are full of crapola and I would be so saddened if this was true at all - in the littlest bit.
I am trembling because if it is - I may not be able to go there anymore!!!! SOB!!!!
PLEASE SOMEONE QUICKLY - TELL ME THIS IS THE SAME THING AS THAT STUPID COOKIE RECIPE!!!!
Subject: Starbucks Refuses Coffee to Marines
Recently Marines in Iraq wrote to Starbucks because they wanted to let them know how much they liked their coffees and to requestthat 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!
As a war vet writing to fellow patriots, I feel we should getthis out in the open. I know this war might not be very popular withsome 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 andI believe is right. If you feel the same as I do then pass this along, or you candiscard 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.

Write them and ask them direct. Otherwise it will deprive you of your daily fix for what may be no more than a rumor. Too many times people assume that what they have heard is correct, take Target for example.
You know what "assume" means, don't you.
Check out www.snopes.com / type in Starbucks Marines in the search box. There's an explanation for everything, and it's not true.
