The tree stays up until they come home

The presents are still under the tree for Robert Rego's wife and son who are both deployed to Afghanistan serving in the U.S. Army. Rego says he'll leave it that way until they go home.

The Regos are a family full of soldiers. Robert hopes his two daughters will follow his wife and son’s footsteps.
