sorry i posted, i have been flamed enough, if you have intentions of adding to it, don't bother, i will delete WITHOUT reading. there are soooo many people against the war, who knows anymore. against the war or not THOSE ARE OUR FAMILY MEMBERS OUT THERE FIGHTING, WILLING TO RISK THEIR LIVES!!!! i will continue to forward the e-mails i get like this in my personal address book, on the chance that it might be true. if i find out otherwise, well, hen i will send another apology e-mail, just like i have done in this situation. i wish you all well & pray for your loved ones "over there"

I am lost, do they or don't they support the war? Is that e-mail true or false? Thanks Laura C.

well, apparntly, from all the flames i got, the do support the war! sorry for the confusion, bonnie

Hi; I am new to boards and noticed the post IRT starbucks. My husband (deployed) loves Dunkin Donuts coffee. It is an East coast staple, but we are in CA. Anyway, their website did not offer coffee ground for sale, so I emailed the company. The reply said they would send my husband coffee if I provided his unit's mailing address. He received a CASE of ground Dunkin Donuts coffee and a thank you note. He was the hit of the coffee pot for sure. Heidi
