Stop letting adversity blind you! Major (Ret.) Scotty Smiley became the first blind active-duty officer in military history following a face-to-face confrontation in 2005 with an Iraqi terrorist suicide car bomber. After his injury, Scotty’s faith led him to forgive his attacker and inspired him to rebuild his life while continuing to serve his country in the U.S. Army. Smiley then went on to tandem skydive with the U.S. Army's Golden Knights, climb Mount Rainier and complete a Coeur d'Alene Ironman. Major Smiley was also named "Soldier of the Year" in 2007 and ESPN awarded him an ESPY Award in 2008 as the best outdoor athlete.

SC&RA Focuses on OS/OW Issues… SC&RA attended the Trucking Association Executives Council (TAEC) in Naples, FL where the leaders of all 50 state trucking associations gathered to discuss clean freight, ATA's "Nothing Without Trucking" and predatory towing campaigns, and the latest industry research from ATRI. SC&RA updated TAEC members on the permitting of OS/OW loads carrying disaster and emergency relief commodities in support of nationwide and regional planning and recovery efforts. SC&RA also hosted a working call with members concerned about potential changes to New York City's OS/OW permitting routes. Members can provide initial public comments on these routes to NYCDOT by July 31. Want more info? Contact Chris Smith, [email protected]
