WorldWarIIDropTank2.jpg As the United States is preparing to celebrate its 233rd birthday, I'm reminded of all the great reasons that make this country great.  Baseball, Apple Pie and Cracker Jacks come to mind, but also all the men and women who have served and are serving our country at the local, state and national level. I'm also reminded of a great event that took place a little less than a year ago in Austin, Texas. The Texas Military Forces Museum needed a special delivery of some historical World War II artifacts.

Major Steve Morris is Area Commander for the Salvation Army-National Capital Area Command in D.C.  On May 28, FedEx donated a brand new Disaster Response Unit (DRU) canteen truck to the Command. At the DRU dedication event, Major Morris took the ignition key to the vehicle, held it up high in view of the crowd, and said "This is not just a key - it represents life." Joe Gibbs, former coach of the Washington Redskins, added excitement to the special occasion, as did professional NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin, also on hand for the event. salvationarmypic.JPG

Access and the connections it enables are essential resources. The good news is Access is not only a renewable resource, but an ever-expanding one as well. As Access expands it must be matched by smarter Access — or “Intelligent Access” as we’ve come to call it.

NTDC0013.preview.jpg When you think of “safety”, what jumps to mind? Is it wearing safety shoes or using defensive driving techniques or stretching before lifting properly?  At FedEx, safety is as simple and as complicated as this:  it’s the bedrock of our company and the heart of our People-Service-Profit philosophy.
