From Carnation Revolution to Logistics Evolution…
On April 25, 1974, The Carnation Revolution was Portugal’s floral-themed overthrow of the old regime! Picture this: it’s April 25, 1974, Lisbon is buzzing, and suddenly, bam! The military decides they’ve had enough of the authoritarian government shenanigans and stage a peaceful coup. But instead of guns blazing, they strut their stuff armed with… carnations! Yep, flowers. These soldiers roll up to the scene with bouquets tucked in their gun barrels, making for one of the most peaceful revolutions in history. The people join in, singing songs, waving banners, and before you know it, the dictatorship is out, democracy is in, and Portugal is blooming with newfound freedom. So, if you ever need a reminder that change can be as gentle as a petal drifting in the breeze, just remember the Carnation Revolution! 🌸✌️
Since the inception of First Cargo, Garland has been our steadfast ally, navigating the seas (and skies) of shipping with finesse and reliability.
Much like those soldiers armed with carnations, Garland has always approached our partnership with a peaceful, yet powerful determination to excel. Their dedication to efficiency, their commitment to quality service, and their unwavering support have been instrumental in our success.
As we commemorate this milestone, let’s raise our metaphorical carnations to Garland, our true partner in progress. Here’s to many more years of seamless collaboration, mutual growth, and blooming success! 🌸🚚
Happy Freedom Day, all our friends in Portugal!
