Amazing! What a creative way to spread support for our troops. I recently watched a documentary "Hell and Back Again" about an injured serviceman returning home, it gave me a whole new perspective on how difficult the transition home can be. Support out troops! bitly. com/zJDaIj
For those of you who are bitching about the Coast Guard, calm down. Just like every branch, the Coast Guard gets their shit done when they're at work, and come home to a pretty oblivious nation. Does it suck your song isn't up there? Yep. Does the lack of recognition make your service any less useful? Nope. Should you suck it the hell up and, in proud military tradition, keep doing your shit without being told thank you? Yep.
For 2 months now I've seen constant complaints on here about the Coast Guard not being included. Don't dislike this video for that. This version of Proud to be and American came out years ago. Long before this light show. Just enjoy it and if you have a problem with the Coast Guard situation, contact the person that redid this song... God, I swear you can't put anything on youtube anymore without people complaining...
ok the coast guard wasnt included,but then to honor all,you would have to include the following. The national guard,us customs,homeland securiity,cia,fbi,local, state,and fedral police,port authority,airport authority,border patrol,and so on and on they all honored because we slleep at night knowing they have our backs. THANK YOU to all of you..
This was absolutely fantastic- and an awesome Tribute to the most amazing souls... Freedom isnt free... Go USA ! My son is a US Soldier. Infantry Airborne and my nephew was killed by an IED in Afghanistan in 07... Hug a soldier today!!!!!
ok ratwellsp tell me where are the coast guards deployed too? im 21 yrs old have been to afghanistan twice and have never saw the coast guard in afghanistan.. this past year the coast guard just recently became part of the military...name wars that they have fought in.. as a marine i can name every battle we have been in
well i just want to say,THANK YOU, TROOPS for everything you have done for all of us.i rest easy at night ,cause you are guarding me. i have freedom because of all of you.theres no way to say hpw much we appreciate you all.plz cpme home safe and sound.we love you all.
@MostExtremeStuff they are using led (light emitting diode) lights which can use somwhere around 80% less electricity but they are still probably paying a good amount for this display
OMG I can't believe some of the negative comments I am reading. It doesn't matter if you are liberal, republican, democrat. This is dedicated to our troops for what they have done for us. Get over yourselves and show some respect.
My husband is in the Navy and about to go AD so I am thoroughly enjoying this video while I have him by my side. Our 4 month old daughter absolutely adores her daddy, too.
My dad and uncles fought in both Korea and in Vietnam. He lost his friend to a landmine and nearly lost his leg. My father was not a conservative. If he were still alive, I'm sure he would be upset at comments like SuperKnighttempler made. Being a patriot is being able to have different opinions and able to express them.
@ratwellsp I am sorry that you felt slighted. My Father served in the MERCHANT MARINES in WWII, and that branch was not given vet. status until 1985. I thank Every military person, and animal for the service they have given for us to retain the option to voice our opinions in public. THANK YOU to ALL.
Great Job, Coasties sorry you were not highlighted but everyone knows what great sacrifices you are always making and have always made for all of us.\
This was beautiful and yet some people had to complain about something. . LETS BE THANKFUL FOR ALL THOSE WHO FOUGHT TO KEEP US SAFE. Did any one think it was an honest error ? Be Thankful that here in America we can speak freely
Please don't hate ,That's what sends us to war,this should be a time of peace and joy.
@tourerish thank you words that are so true,We all need to stand together and just enjoy what our troops have given us,FREEDOM.God bless you all,hope ev1 s new year is full of joy health,happiness,and true peace inside.
@SuperKnighttempler For one, that's not how you spell Templar. For two, Templars were knights. You're redundant. For three, some soldiers are liberals.
@ratwellsp He probably didn't wanna do anymore light sequencing. Just to give you an idea, it's probably 15-18 hours per minute of song, and it's extremely tedious. :(
@pmv920 The original Lee Greenwood God Bless The USA is PART of this song... But it has been covered and mixed by another artist... You cannot find this version on any website under the name Lee Greenwood and that is what I want is to find this particular version for my show next year....
I applaud anyone who wants to go in to the CG, but it is not part of the "Armed Services" it is part of the Dept of Homeland Security, and formerly of the Dept of Transportation. Let's see, they didn't include the border patrol theme song or the FBI, or the CIA... point being, if you want a house to represent those... make your own light display... as for me, A VETERAN of the US Army, thank you for posting this, it is beautiful!!!
You're part right. In peace time, the Coast Guard operates as part of the Dept. of Homeland Security. However, in times of war (like for the past 10 or so years), or at the direction of the President, the USCG operates as part of the Dept. of the Navy.
My grandfather was in the USCG in WW2 so I was unhappy that the Coast Guard was left out. On the bright side my uncle is a USMC Veteran so I loved hearing the US Marines song
@ratwellsp They are mostly there to stay close to home. and not to be a debbie downer, but the Constitution only calls for a US NAVY nothing else, so I am thankful we have more than one branch of service.
Awesome light show! As for the CG, I can only think that the service song wasn't included in this version of this mix. I appreciate what the coasties do for us! Hell, I have to run interference all the time at our airfield cause the H65's are constantly pissing off the cry baby residents because of the "noise". Hey CG Station LA, come on over and noise it up! I don't care!!!
To SuperKnighttempler. I am a yellow-bellied, commie liberal and also a very proud to have served Vietnam vet. It was the horrors of a very unnecessary war that made me a liberal. I'M PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN AND GOD BLESS THE USA. P.S. I support our troops and my heart goes out to those who have served in another very unnecessary war. God bless you all and may you not suffer from PTSD.
For those of you that can only find fault with this light show, I have a few questions for you. Do you have a light show? Is yours any better? Have you done anything to honor our troops? Have you donated to a cause that will help our wounded? their families, the families of military personnel killed in action? Have you thanked a veteran for your freedoms and the right to criticize this light show using your 1st amendment right? Get a life!
as we begin a new year, remember that some of our young men and daughters have paid a price to high to be taken for granted,....remember that next November
@SuperKnighttempler You know its entirely possible to possess some liberal attitudes and still have the ability to appreciate our armed services. I know plenty of liberals who have spent a LOT of time overseas. Why must you turn this into an US vs. THEM argument attracting attention to you instead of letting it be for the troops where it belongs?
@bj1948 So, you utter a 'lie' and then declare your disbelief with self-pious condescension. Instead of telling others what they are saying, try LISTENING, without being some 'super-nanny' know-it-all. It wont hurt... promise.
Thank all our troops and their familys God Bless them all and my husband for serving all my Grandfathers and cousins who have served our country we love God bless you. :) Stay strong.
Here's one liberal who's not pissed off. I don't always with agree with our government does, but I appreciate the service and sacrifice given by all members of our armed forces, thank you very much. Cool light display by the way.
this is great but i also agree with the comment where is the coast guard they have served to my brother retired form the ascg and they deserve as much respect
I read that this setup has 100,000 LEDs. If each LED was on at the same time (which they never all are), the draw would be about 4000watts, or 4KW. This is around how much an air conditioner would pull for the average house. They only run it for 4 hours a night, and the average cost per KWH is 12 cents, so worst case this display costs 57.6 dollars a month to run. Not too bad at all! Now if this were incandescent lights, the bill would be massive...go LEDs!
As a retire veteran of two "shooting wars", I'm all for celebrating the service and sacrifice of America's veterans. I hope they leave this display up for Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Veterans Day, then replace it with something more appropriate to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. C'mon man!
That others may live. Rest in peace, USCG 6505, 1705, 6017, the crews of the cutters Blackthorn, and Oak, and many other aircrews and cuttermen who did not return...
Very nice show, very good intentions, but they left out an entire branch of service... Hundreds of men and women wearing US Coast Guard blue have put it all on the line, and given their last breath to defend this country. It was a USCG cutter that fired the opening shots of WWII, it was USCG small boat drivers who left our coasts and drove the landing craft on Normandy, Iwo Jima, Guadacanal, and many other bloody beach heads around the world. Since then many have paid the ultimate sacrifice
It's a beautiful homage to our troops who have fought for ours and the freedoms of many other countries. For those who might say that our country is not free and that our leaders are not representing us as they would like, I say tell them about it. Talk to your family and friends about your concerns whether you be liberal or conservative. When "the majority of the people" don't make their voices heard is when our government can be controlled by a very few.
This is AWESOME!!! Thank You so Very Much !!!! Who wouldn't LOVE watching this? THANK YOU American troops fpr all you do to PROTECT us!!!! I'm PROUD to Be an AMERICAN!!!!
this is a wonderful tribute to our troops, however if you like me live in the united states of america and think you are free. you are sadly mistaken we have no rights we have no control, our government gives people that are un educated the illusion that this is a free country.
THANK YOU TO ALL OUR MEN AND WOMEN AND YOUR FAMILIES WHO ARE SERVING OR HAVE SERVED OUR GREAT COUNTRY! WE MUST REMAIN FREE AND STRONG AGAINST THE BAD THINGS GOING ON IN OUR COUNTRY TODAY! LOOKING TO VOTE IN 2012! YES!
A BIG THANK YOU goes out to those that so bravely serve in our military. And a THANK YOU to the person(s) that created this wonderful and beautiful video.
@hawkermustang If this pisses a liberal off (or anyone else for that matter) then they can go live somewhere else. Or better yet, go kill themselves. They don't deserve the freedom and liberty that the U.S. Military has fought, defended and paid for with their own life's blood.
@hawkermustang: You should kiss the boots of this center-left Marine Corpsman who bled and fought so that you have the right to say such an asinine, repressive and anti-American thing.
I have to say this is by far the best light show to date. Thank you for what you have done here. As an Air Force veteran, it pleases me to see something like this done to show support to our veterans and the worlds greatest Military force ever.
This is such an honor to know that there are people who still believe in our military and our country. I'm a 10 yr Marine who unfortunately is no longer in and this display of appreciation brought tears to my eyes! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Thank you from the Barracks of Koneohe Bay MCBH! Stationed here are Marines and Sailors who are wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas Day! Thank you for adding to ours!
To ALL the men and women that have and are serving in the military, Thank you for being brave and courageous as you defend your country. Being a child of a military vet, I know what it is like to be proud of my father's brave acts and I am proud to be one of the many that you stood strong for! THANK YOU!
You are wonderful. I know many who have died during war. and several who are still dyeing inside for what they went through. Our troops are following orders and most with love and unbelievable courage. For those of you who don't support them. you have freedom of choice. Get out of our wonderful U.S.. Our soil doesn't need to be dirties by your presence. This is and outstanding tribute.
@msamericanpatriot It is a mix of Lee greenwoods "proud to be an american," and All of the US military songs put together. Look up each branches song, and then the one by lee greenwood and youll have your lyrics.
The work done in this light show, the posting, etc. is an amazing way to thank the troops, thank you for posting this amazing exciting video. So inspiring, and simply beautiful. A veteran but nothing like the veterans of our wars, I cant claim ever doing anything like our men and woman who have done so much. To them, a Merry Christmas where ever you are. Your in our thoughts and Prayers as always. I just had to say this is amazing. such beauty and love for our Nations, men, woman and families.
From the Halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli, we fight our countries battles in the Air, on land, and sea. First to fight for right and freedom and to keep our honor clean. We are proud to claim to the title UNITED STATES MARINES!
Off we go into the wild blue yonder, flying high into the Sun. Here they come zoomin' to meet our Thunder. at 'em boys, give 'er the gun. Down we Dive, spouting our flame from under off with one helluva' roar. We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey! Nothing can can stop the US Air Force.
Anchors Aweigh Farewell to college joys. We sail at break of Day. Ay. Ay. Ay. Thou our last night ashore, Hail to the Foam. Until we meet once more, here's wishing you a happy voyage home ...
From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, we fight our country's battles
on the air, on land and sea. First to fight for the right and freedom and to keep our honor clean, we are proud to claim the title United States Marine ...
If tomorrow all the things were gone i'd worked for all my life and i had to start again with just my children and my wife ... I thank my lucky stars to be livin' here today. 'Cuz the flag still stands for Freedom and they Can't take that away. And I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free. And I won't forget the men who died that gave that right to me
and I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her here today 'cuz there ain't no doubt
@Sellyfy Dude it's one youtube account I didn't realize that one youtube account = American society. No offense I get you have your dissenting opinion but don't you think it is ridiculous to believe that one (private) account = American government/society. Sorry but if you are concerned about the freedom of speech why not protest something a bit more worthy of your time?
People who appreciate us like you do means the world to us. Thank you for all the support. We love you, or else we wouldn't be so willing to do what we do. Merry Christmas, everybody, from Little Rock Air Force Base.
Some of the 2% dislikes probably come from the ranks of the military wash-outs. I saw a few of them come and go during my 21 years. They won't ever "let it go."
Friends 2 percent have disliked this clip. Thats pretty damn good. The two percent are probably more concerned with the amount of energy that this guy is using vs. the meaning behind it. God bless all those who fight and defend home and abroad. Merry Christmas.
As a veteran who has been deployed to Iraq twice and to Afghanistan once, I would like to thank you for posting this video. I honestly got teary eyed just watching this video because it touches my heart to see that there are actually people out there who appreciate what we do to keep America free and safe. God bless you!
@TheMizzmercury Thankyou for your service, your devotion means the world to me and my family. May G-d continue to watch over you and bless you as you have blessed America. My son is 5 years old and there is not a uni

I read that this setup has 100,000 LEDs. If each LED was on at the same time (which they never all are), the draw would be about 4000watts, or 4KW. This is around how much an air conditioner would pull for the average house. They only run it for 4 hours a night, and the average cost per KWH is 12 cents, so worst case this display costs 57.6 dollars a month to run. Not too bad at all! Now if this were incandescent lights, the bill would be massive...go LEDs!

As a retire veteran of two "shooting wars", I'm all for celebrating the service and sacrifice of America's veterans. I hope they leave this display up for Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Veterans Day, then replace it with something more appropriate to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. C'mon man!

That others may live. Rest in peace, USCG 6505, 1705, 6017, the crews of the cutters Blackthorn, and Oak, and many other aircrews and cuttermen who did not return...

Very nice show, very good intentions, but they left out an entire branch of service... Hundreds of men and women wearing US Coast Guard blue have put it all on the line, and given their last breath to defend this country. It was a USCG cutter that fired the opening shots of WWII, it was USCG small boat drivers who left our coasts and drove the landing craft on Normandy, Iwo Jima, Guadacanal, and many other bloody beach heads around the world. Since then many have paid the ultimate sacrifice

It's a beautiful homage to our troops who have fought for ours and the freedoms of many other countries. For those who might say that our country is not free and that our leaders are not representing us as they would like, I say tell them about it. Talk to your family and friends about your concerns whether you be liberal or conservative. When "the majority of the people" don't make their voices heard is when our government can be controlled by a very few.

If the troops really want to preserve are freedom they need to overthrow are corrupt leaders.

this is a wonderful tribute to our troops, however if you like me live in the united states of america and think you are free. you are sadly mistaken we have no rights we have no control, our government gives people that are un educated the illusion that this is a free country.

@hawkermustang If this pisses a liberal off (or anyone else for that matter) then they can go live somewhere else. Or better yet, go kill themselves. They don't deserve the freedom and liberty that the U.S. Military has fought, defended and paid for with their own life's blood.

You are wonderful. I know many who have died during war. and several who are still dyeing inside for what they went through. Our troops are following orders and most with love and unbelievable courage. For those of you who don't support them. you have freedom of choice. Get out of our wonderful U.S.. Our soil doesn't need to be dirties by your presence. This is and outstanding tribute.
