First lady Melania Trump teamed up with second lady Usha Vance to greet military families at Joint Base Andrews and create holiday care packages for service members to mark the start of the Christmas season. The first and second ladies partnered with the American Red Cross to make some 700 care packages to military families inside a hanger with multiple aircraft, such as a F-16 and C-37. Soft Christmas music played in the background. Care packages included treats like Rice Krispies, Slim Jims, popcorn packets, and items like handwritten notes and tissues.
