Glad this article wasn’t about what Kate wore.
Snark aside, as active duty this gave me rainbows in my soul. I’ve twice been away from home for Christmas (one spent at bootcamp, the other on deployment), and I know how much mail, let alone a familiar face, means this time of year. I think it’s awesome they both flew to Cyprus to hand out mail and packages from the airmen’s families, and actually spent some time with them.
Though I have to wonder if they bothered with the lower-ranking enlisted; they never get any of this type of treatment but they are just as important as the sergeant or unit commander.
