Bates brothers hang Christmas lights at the homestead
"Everybody's heard the song "I'll Be Home for Christmas," but most people really don't understand what it means until you're away from home for that amount of time. It just means so much to be able to come home and see family for Christmas."
-Jackson Bates
Now that's an "aww" moment if we've ever heard one! You know you've raised your son right when you hear something that profound come out of his mouth. Jackson, who recently turned 19, was away at ALERT training last fall, and as you'll see in this video clip, he was thrilled to make it home for Christmas.
