Thank you from Afghanistan!

We send coffee to troops stationed overseas. It is a small thing we can do to remind those troops we are thinking of them and we really appreciate them. It is amazing that a simple item like coffee reminds the troops of home. Did you know that Charlie Sange and Doug Dunlap each served eight years in the military?

Here is an email we received from one of those troops stationed overseas.

Charlie,

I wanted to personally thank you for the fantastic coffee you sent me

here in Afghanistan!! There isn't much in the way of good quality food

and coffee here, so it was a welcomed surprise to get high quality

beans.  We drink it every morning and often find ourselves saying, "damn

this is good coffee--from Napa!" 

I have been here with a small team of mental health professionals taking

care of Army, National Guard and Navy folks in Parwan Afghanistan.

Interestingly, I grew up in Sonoma, studied at UC Davis and currently

stationed at Travis, AFB right over the hill.  My dad lives in Hidden

Valley Lake so I often drive the Napa valley on my way to see him.

Kinda cool that you are in Napa--small world.  Anyway, thanks again

brotha!  I will have to come by the store and say thanks in person when

I re-deploy home.

Best,

MV

To the soldiers serving: We are thinking of you and hope you are taking great care of yourselves; hoping to see you home soon!
