“This Christmas season, you, your friends, and your families should wish for the ultimate gift – love. After all, love travels further than Santa’s sleigh and America’s Ospreys,” affirmed First Lady Melania Trump.
Mrs. Trump arrived with Santa Claus at Marine Corps Base Quantico with Santa Claus aboard a V-22 Osprey today. To the delight of United States Marines, volunteers, and military families, Mrs. Trump, Toys for Tots, and the Toy Association continued their +75-year tradition, bringing extra joy to millions of children across America.
The First Lady framed the courage and resilience of military children, telling them, “You are the heart of today’s celebration.” She delivered remarks to hundreds of children inside a decorated and historic hangar, helped distribute toys, visited activity stations, and spent time with families whose loved ones serve both at home and abroad.
Mrs. Trump concluded by wishing all military families a Merry Christmas and expressing the Nation’s gratitude for the strength, generosity, and patriotism they share with their communities.
