 Christmas 2018 is now a memory, and for one Pike County family, it will definitely go down as one of the most memorable ever. You see United States Marine Kevin Tackett hadn't seen his family for nearly a year, and he planned a big surprise just in time for Christmas. My mother doesn't know I'm coming in, my grandfather doesn't know I'm coming in, so I'd like to give them a surprise and KSP is helping me, so it's going to be a good Christmas, I think. Kevin met up with a trooper as soon as he got into town Sunday night, climbed into the back of a cruiser, and put his plan into motion. My mother just put this new truck, and it's got a little bit of damage on my back left side of the truck bed, I'm guessing, and we're going to do a possible hit and run. Kevin's stepfather was also in on the surprise, and he told Kevin's grandfather, mother and sister they had to go pick up a package. That's when they saw the blue lights in their rearview mirror. If you don't care, look at this, you all care to step out and look at this damage back here. Little did they know they were about to get their Christmas wishes granted. Everybody's got wishes for Christmas, what's the one thing you like to have for Christmas more than anything? My brother. Your brother? Where's he at? Hawaii. Oh yeah, that's a long way away. Yes, it is. What's he doing? He's a Marine Corps. He's a Marine Corps. Yeah, buddy. Check your glasses, everybody. Let me see him. I'll be right back. Where's he? You say he's in Hawaii? Yeah. We're out over there. I don't know. And after the emotions settled, even Kevin himself said he was surprised at how well everything went. It was quite the moment for me, so a couple weeks of planning, KSP, and then EKB, we called him together. We made it happen, so that's what I'm thankful for this Christmas. I don't need anything else for Christmas.
