DHL provides Christmas boost for troops
DHL will deliver hundreds of trees, decorations and messages of support to US troops serving abroad through its ‘DHL Operation Holiday Cheer’ charitable programme. DHL has donated all transportation and logistical services for the trees and holiday items being delivered to Service members in Iraq, Afghanistan and Bahrain.
Five hundred real trees along with lights, tinsel and holiday decorations as well as “Santa Sacks” filled with thousands of holiday cards written by New York area schoolchildren will be transported to US troops overseas.
The shipment was supplied through donations from New York businesses and community organisations.
“DHL is proud to leverage its international expertise and extensive global network to help US Service members in Iraq, Afghanistan and Bahrain feel just a bit closer to home this holiday season with the delivery of this special, community-donated care package,” said Ian Clough, CEO of DHL Express, USA.
