"This Fourth of July, I ask you to find a way to thank the men and women defending our freedom"
President George W. Bush:
We live in freedom because every generation has produced patriots willing to serve a cause greater than themselves. Those who serve today are taking their rightful place among the greatest generations that have worn our Nation's uniform. When the history of this period is written, the liberation of Afghanistan and the liberation of Iraq will be remembered as great turning points in the story of freedom.

If you'd like to thank our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan while also offering them a small kindness, please join me in sending coffee, cookies or both. You can include a personalized message with your shipment. (Please note: you'll be asked for a shipping address. But since you're ordering under the Coffee for Troops program, your shipment will go to the troops, not to you.)
