Coffee
As a kid I heard stories of fairies and unicorns but nothing about 'Kaldi and his dancing goats'. It was only recently that I stumbled upon a story so fascinating that I'd like to share it with you. Long back, there was a herder named Kaldi in Ethiopia, whose goats went astray. Once they returned, Kaldi found them somewhat high spirited. He followed the goats and found that they had been chewing on certain red berries of an unknown plant. He tried them and felt an instant rush of energy. Later, a monk found the overactive Kaldi and asked him the secret of his new found energy. The monk along with others boiled the red berries and made a beverage that allowed them to remain awake during long hours of prayers. And that's how the first caffeine drink was brewed!

With the long hours pulled in the armed services, caffeine becomes a must for staying alert for long stretches. But long hours don’t have to mean rough coffee that is hard to swallow, meaning a delicious coffee blend will go down a treat. Bring a moment of warm happiness to a service person’s day with a couple of bags of their favorite blend. Especially if someone is stationed in a place where good coffee is hard to come by locally.
