In an age where Americans are constantly bombarded with rhetoric about supporting our troops, it seems some can’t be bothered to follow through when it truly matters. A charity group aptly known as Boxes to Boots attempted to uplift our brave service members with care packages this Christmas. They painstakingly assembled more than 1,800 boxes filled with essentials and comforts from home, only to have the United States Postal Service reject hundreds of these precious packages. It’s a situation that can only be described as a travesty.
What’s the excuse? Bureaucracy, plain and simple. The packages, marked as containing toiletries, were flagged for having insufficient customs descriptions. Imagine that. Our troops, who sacrifice so much, can’t receive care packages because of overzealous pencil-pushers who are hiding behind customs regulations. Have we forgotten our priorities? Are we not willing to “bend over backward” for the very people who ensure our freedom?

It’s high time someone steps up. Thankfully, all eyes are now turning to President Trump, who’s being counted on to cut through this red tape and work a “Christmas miracle” to get these packages where they belong. With a government apparatus that’s often too busy kowtowing to globalist interests and pandering to other countries, it’s a refreshing thought that someone might value our service members enough to intervene. It’s an opportunity for Trump to once again show why his commitment to America First resonates so deeply with the heartland.
Thus, while some say rules are rules, it begs the question: Who exactly are these rules serving? Are we so caught up in pleasing faceless bureaucrats that we can’t send a toiletries kit to a soldier longing for a taste of home? This isn’t just about mislabeled boxes. It’s about standing up for our armed forces, who deserve far more than the shuffling ineptitude they’re receiving now.
It’s a call to action, with the stakes clear. Will ignorance and bureaucratic incompetence ruin Christmas for our troops? Or will decisive leadership make sure that this season our troops feel the gratitude of their fellow Americans? The clock is ticking, and if we’re honest, this isn’t just about boxes going overseas. It’s about America standing up for its own—and that shouldn’t require a miracle.
