The eRumor says Starbucks responded by saying they don’t support and war and will not send any coffee. The writer urges a boycott of Starbucks. The Truth: TruthOrFiction.com contacted Starbucks about the story. Starbucks says that the originator of the email, Sgt. Howard Wright, and talked with him about his complaint. He has now sent a follow-up email to his email list, which appears below. Starbucks assured him of their support of the military and that the only reason any coffee was not donated was because the official Starbucks donation policy authorizes such gifts to officially designated public charities, including libraries and schools, and that the U.S. military or military personnel do not qualify. It was not meant to be a comment on the war or the service of military personnel in the war.
