MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - FedEx Corp. and the Christmas SPIRIT Foundation will team up for the fifth straight year to deliver Christmas trees to more than 50 military facilities.

The two will deliver some 16,000 real trees in the United States and overseas.

Throughout November, National Christmas Tree Association (NCTA) members around the country will donate trees, and FedEx will provide transportation and logistical services to the Christmas SPIRIT Foundation, the NCTA's philanthropic branch.

The Christmas SPIRIT Foundation, based in Chesterfield, Mo., is a nonprofit foundation that works to advance the Christmas spirit for kids, families and the environment. Trees for Troops is 1 of its projects.
