VIDEO: Trees for Troops and FedEx Delivering Holiday Smiles
During our busiest time of the year, we’re not too busy to show our appreciation to the military men and women who serve our country.

Destinations include more than 60 military bases throughout the U.S. and installations in Kuwait, Spain, and Bahrain. Jason Case, a Senior Security Specialist in Columbus, Ohio is one of many FedEx employees who make this program possible by helping at distribution sites.
