A store expressing the American way

Mark Elliott, son of Tom and Karen Elliott and brother of Timothy Elliott of Alexandria, and our grandson, is currently serving in Afghanistan. 

In the past we have had the good fortune of have Mr. C.W. Saunders and the employees of Starbucks of Potomac Mills donate coffee to be sent to the outfit where Mark is serving. 

Recently Mark returned home on leave and again the wonderful people at Starbucks donated coffee for his outfit. Mark assured the employees at Starbucks that his entire unit would
be very happy to see him upon his return. 

It is so very comforting to have the wonderful people here support our armed forces as we must realize that they are serving of their own free will and we must respect that and
support them in any way possible. Again, our hats are off to the wonderful people at Starbucks as you readily express the American way.
