“Smith was a devoted supporter of civic causes, education, and veterans's organizations, and a proud champion of Memphis, the city he helped put on the global map.”

Semper Fidelis.

I never knew a lot about him until OBAP last year where they focused on Fred Smith and his civic involvement over the years.

Tailwinds and thanks for helping so many worthy causes.

He truly was amazing with so many things he did not only for FedEx, but the industry as a whole and the city of Memphis. There will never be another Fred Smith.
