Military Appreciation Month

In honor of Military Appreciation Month in May, we wanted to find ways to show our appreciation to soldiers serving overseas and those who are back home. We came across an organization called A Million Thanks and were so incredibly impressed by this young lady who took it upon herself to make sure the troops are given a proper thank you, that we wanted to take part in her effort.

So, through the month of May, the employees of ABF Freight System, Inc. along with several area schools took part in a post card campaign to write words of thanks and encouragement to our troops. We were able to collect over 2,000 cards that were sent to soldiers serving across the world and in the U.S.

Our hope is that as soldiers read these cards they’ll get some sense of how grat...

The Noisy Neighbor
She was just about to drift off to sleep when it started…thump, thump, thump – the sound of bass from the stereo upstairs. Seriously?  Then, as usual, the voices and laughter started. At least she thought it was laughter. Either that or a stray hyena wandered in from the Serengeti to give birth. Do these people ever sleep? That’s it. She can’t take another night of this. It’s time to move.

The Wanderers
Drinking coffee in an RV parked in the desert, a couple decides to move back home. After a decade of wanderlust, it’s time to be close to family and friends again and settle into the home they’ve been dreaming of – that small cottage with a garden spot and a fenced yard. A puppy would be nice too. Maybe they’ll start a travel business.

The Searchers
Then there’s the young family needi...
