  • By Rory Fanning Last Week, in a Qu
    1 Thank You for Your Valor, Thank You for Your Service, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You… ? By Rory Fanning Last week, in a quiet indie bookstore on the north side of Chicago, I saw the latest issue of Rolling Stone resting on a chrome-colored plastic table a few feet from a barista brewing a vanilla latte. A cold October rain fell outside. A friend of mine grabbed the issue and began flipping through it. Knowing that I was a veteran, he said, "Hey, did you see this?" pointing to a news story that seemed more like an ad. It read in part: "This Veterans Day, Bruce Springsteen, Eminem, Rihanna, Dave Grohl, and Metallica will be among numerous artists who will head to the National Mall in Washington D.C. on November 11th for 'The Concert For Valor,' an all-star event that will pay tribute to armed services." "Concert For Valor? That sounds like something the North Korean government would organize," I said as I typed Concertforvalor.com into my MacBook Pro looking for more information. The sucking sound from the espresso maker was drowning out a 10-year-old Shins song. As I read, my heart sank, my shoulders slumped. Special guests at the Concert for Valor were to include: Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, and Steven Spielberg. The mission of the concert, according to a press release, was to “raise awareness” of veterans issues and “provide a national stage for ensuring that veterans and their families know that their fellow Americans’ gratitude is genuine.” Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs 2 Admiral Michael Mullen were to serve in an advisory capacity, and Starbucks, HBO, and JPMorgan Chase were to pay for it all.

  • The Flavor of the Holidays at Starbucks
    Starbucks Coffee Company FACT SHEET: Starbucks Commitment to our Veterans November 2014 A COMMITMENT TO OUR VETERANS Veterans and military spouses have not only made some of the biggest sacrifices to protect and serve our country and its citizens, but they also possess skill sets, leadership qualities and relevant experience that can benefit the business world and our communities. We owe it not only to them, but to our communities and workplaces, to recognize the skills they bring and support them as they pursue jobs outside of military service. With the goal of raising awareness and attention to the heroism, skills and contributions of veterans, and the opportunity for veterans to be the next generation of America’s private and public sector leaders, Starbucks has made a commitment to hire at least 10,000 veterans and military spouses by the end of 2018. To change how people see and engage with our veterans, and to express gratitude and recognize their service and sacrifice, Howard Schultz, Starbucks chairman, president and ceo, has co-authored a book with Rajiv Chandrasekaran, associate editor at The Washington Post called FOR LOVE OF COUNTRY: What Our Veterans Can Teach Us About Citizenship, Heroism, and Sacrifice. Proceeds from the sale of the book will go to veteran service organizations. Coinciding with the book launch, Starbucks and HBO are hosting “THE CONCERT FOR VALOR,” on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to be presented live on HBO this Veterans Day, Tuesday, November 11.
