Willie Robertson has an awesome reason for missing the 'Duck Dynasty' Christmas special [pics]

The “Duck Dynasty” Christmas special airs tonight on A&E. While it looks like Willie Robertson will be missing the show, he’s got a pretty great excuse.

Hate I'm gonna miss Christmas special. Spending some time with our men and women serving overseas. @the_USO
