Sir,

I wanted to send my heartfelt gratitude to you, your team and all of those that contributed to the Coffee care package you sent to us here in the Regional Contracting Center in Bagram Afghanistan. Prior to my deploymet, which started in July I was a member of the coffee club and actually got my mom to sign up and took samples of the coffee to work because I had been in search of coffee that truly had GREAT flavor. I admit I am a coffee adict and once I found Boca Java, I fell in love with your coffee!! I am a whole bean gal and had to borrow a grinder to grind up 13 bags to take with me before I left. I also sent a friend of mine in Iraq 10 bags of Boca so she would be hooked:-)

I was a little distraught because I went through all the coffee I brought with me in a month?I had to beg and borrow and start drinking Starbucks to get me by (a bit of a let down after getting used to Boca), waiting on more to arrive as another friend actually ordered me more Boca Java?.and then WOW!!! I was absolutley amazed at not only the quantity, but the thoughtfulness and generosity of the shipments of coffee and hot chocolate.

I sent an e-mail to everyone letting them know to "COME AND GET IT" and I have no doubt there will be additional Boca Java addicts as I have already heard that this is the best coffee they have ever tasted.

I am going to have a flag flown here to add to your room, because while the coffee may seem like a little thing to some, it means a great deal to me and many others and will help get us through the long days and really is a comfort of home!! So if you could please let me know what you would like on your certificate, be it in your name or "Boca Java" I will return a token of our appreciation.

Thank you again and please pass on our thanks to your team and all those that contributed!!
