free coffee. On Saturday morning, we have a blue grass music jam session

area and play for 4 to 5 hours.

Remarks:
My coffee shop here in Mooresville, NC has been called
the Most Patriotic Coffee Shop in America. Over 5,000 Veterans have come
in and signed the "Book of Honor". We are involved in several
activities, Marine Corps "Toys
for Tots"; always count on us for being one of the largest
collectors at Christmas. Freightliner Corp, located in Cleveland, NC,
bring their "Ride of Pride" truck to the shop to honor All Veterans. May
22,2008 was the 4th year Freightliner has parked the newest truck in
front of the shop before it goes to Washington, DC with Rolling Thunder
bikers as its' escort. Many organizations contact us for a guest speaker
at a Patriotic event or those needing an Honor Guard for a special flag
raising. March 17,2008 Military times (Army Times, Marine Times, etc.)
included the coffee shop in a section called "Race City USA" because the
shop is located in the town of Mooresville, NC where most of the NASCAR
teams are located. If you are in the area, please stop in and say hello
and be sure and sign the "Book of Honor". Among those who have signed in
are Porter Halyburton, Fred Cherry and Quincy Collins, all 3 were 7 1/2
year POW's in the infamous Hanoi Hilton.
