With only 6 days left on the job, Mattis was reportedly seen yesterday in his office on the third floor of the Pentagon. 

On the night of Christmas Eve, Secretary Mattis sent an official letter to all American service members.  

As previously reported by Julio here at Townhall, Mattis sent his Christmas wishes to service men and women serving around the globe. 

“Since Washington crossed the Delaware at Christmas 1776, American troops have missed holidays at home to defend our experiment and democracy. To all you lads and lasses holding the line in 2018 on land, at sea, or in the air, thanks for keeping the faith. Merry Christmas and may God hold you safe.”
