For this episode, we are taking a step away from our normal transition focus as this is a very special episode in recognition of Memorial Day. Memorial Day honors the brave men and women who have sacrificed their lives in service to our great country. These courageous individuals paid the ultimate sacrifice to defend our freedoms. Memorial Day is a reminder that that the price of freedom is high and we as a country, community and company owe a debt of gratitude that can never be fully repaid. The day is an opportunity to reflect on their sacrifice and honor their memory.
We have a very special guest for todays Episode as we welcome Kelly KcKeague to UPS Headquarters and onto The Landing Zone.
