Green Beans Coffee - Honor First, Coffee Second
www.greenbeanscoffee.com
During a business trip to the Middle East, Jason and Jon Araghi had the once-in-a-lifetime chance to bring Saudi Arabia its first gourmet coffeehouse, and opened the Art Nouveau Cafe in 1996.
U.S. Army personnel at nearby Eskan Village caught word of the new coffeehouse, and soon after, invited the brothers to open a cafe on the US Army base. Within months of operating at Eskan Village, the Air Force extended an invitation to open three additional locations at the Prince Sultan Air Base, in Al-Kharj KSA.
Today, Green Beans serves customers in Afghanistan, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, Kyrgyzstan, Kuwait, Qatar, Djibouti, Africa and the United States. The company has not only grown in overseas and U.S. locations, but also in its mission to support our men and women in uniform.
Check out some of our programs that bring a little taste of home to our servicemembers around the world.

Federal Law Enforcement Foundation
www.federallawenforcementfoundation.com
Established in 1988 by a group of concerned business leaders who recognized that, despite the incalculable contribution law enforcement agents make to our quality of life, the economic protection they receive is often inadequate in times of tragedy or disaster. The foundation is certified as a charitable organization and operates on an all-volunteer basis with no paid employees. Their programs are in 200 communities and 9 foreign countries.
The Disabled Veterans' LIFE Memorial Foundation
www.avdlm.org
The Disabled Veterans' LIFE Memorial Foundation is a non-profit organization formed in 1998 to raise the funds necessary to design, build and construct a memorial to honor the more than 3 million men and women who have become disabled while serving in the Armed Forces of the United States. These permanently disabled soldiers carry home life-altering disabilities-stern reminders of the price of freedom. They have honored us with their service and it is now our turn to honor them. For the first time in our nation's history, a monument in our nation's capitol will pay tribute to some of America's most courageous heroes as well as their loved ones and caregivers whose heroic devotion is a source of strength for them as they are striving to heal.
