The War Hits Home at Cuppy’s

Today several of my co-worker’s, here at Cuppy’s, husbands and wives are deploying to Iraq. The mood is melancholy. My heart is going out to these friends and coworkers and their families. This being a military town we’ve always been very supportive of our troops and all the military members and familes around the world. But for some reason today we all feel like a part of us is being put in harms way. Not like the whole Cuppy’s/Java Jo’z/Medina articles on the internet out there, this is deeper.

This past Christmas, we sent coffee and smoothies to troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanastan. Just a little taste of home for these brave souls. The thank you letter they sent touched everyone here to our souls. Now today we’re being touched again.

Today as we go about our lives, remember that others are putting their very life on the line so that we can live in freedom and participate in the very declaration of our independence…the right to exist in peace.
