Thanks for the address. I know a guy that is the sales rep for some flavor company in Seattle. His daughter is at Annapolis right now so I bet he could get something going.

I love the name.

What do the Iraqi's think of the name?

FreshCoffeeBeans.com http://www.freshcoffeebeans.com/ and SweetMarias.com http://www.sweetmarias.com/ are my favorite places to purchase green beans. I am affiliated with neither, although I do buy beans from both. (SweetMarias is my favorite.)

I just checked and it appears that you can ship directly through SweetMarias using the FPO, AE address and the mail system.

P-Marlowe has saved you some frustration. Here's how you get supplies to the good Chaplain.

Individuals wanting to contribute supplies to the coffee shop should first contact Anderson either by email at

john.anderson@gcemnf-wiraq.usmc.mil

or by writing him at

Chaplain John Anderson, 3D BN 2D MAR HQ SVC CO, UNIT #73130, FPO, AE, 09509-3130.

The list of needed items includes:
• Unroasted coffee beans
• A variety of flavored coffee syrup in plastic bottles (not unsweetened)
• Spiced chai powder

I just emailed Chaplain Anderson to ask what we could do to help him out.

I'll pass on what he says.

(I think this is SO cool!)
