Beyond The Yellow Ribbon-Bloomington shipped Caribou Coffee donated by customers of the Stillwater Caribou Coffee to our troops in Kuwait.  They were very appreciative and sent their thanks.

Amber M writes,  “Vern, I received the donated coffee from Caribou today in Kuwait.  I want to send a very heartfelt thank you for thinking about us while we’re serving overseas.  The coffee was distributed amonst all the soldiers and there were some very big and appreciative smiles! It was a very nice surprise and we are very thankful for the donations.  We are looking forward to meeting you and the rest of the BTYR-Bloomington team upon our return to thank you in person.  Take care, Amber M.”

Our thanks to you.  It was our honor and we so appreciate your service.
