  • i am 7 years old i like it

  • AMAZING!

  • Love your vid. Did you go the Do It Yourself route or is it a retail controller like Light O Rama? Are you using DMX or Serial for the data signal?

  • WHAT'S THE BACKGROUND

    MUSIC PLEASE????

  • I really enjoyed this video. My father and uncle are retired vets. I am an army vet as well. God Bless the USA and all the troops!

  • 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

  • Whoever disliked this video should take my place in Afghanistan.............. 

  • 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.

  • what is this song called

  • Great job!

  • I'm Canadian and I love this video. Thank you to all the troops who fight for our freedom.

  • 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

  • @pariscaldwell0807 Vietnam.

  • 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.

  • this is so fake i cant believe you all think this is real

  • I wonder what their electric bill is...

  • @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.

  • USA!

  • 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.

  • This is an amazing video dedicated to our troops.

  • @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.\

    cutthroat

  • beautiful video God Bless the USA

  • @ratwellsp i noticed that too im former USCG i find it very offensive they dont recognize us ever.

  • I just wanna say THANK YOU to all vets everywhere,i appreciate the freedom you have given me.i will always appreciate that and respect you all.

  • 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.

    Back to school for you all around, kiddo.

  • Hell YES! U.S.A.!!!

  • @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. :(

  • go hammerheads! oorah flightline 366!!!

  • @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....

  • Next year, my Christmas lights will be red, white & blue. Go Air Force...

    Retired Loadmaster

  • The top commenters are but hurt over the inequality they have experienced in a youtube video.

  • @stinkypitz0005 No one payed you for your ungrateful commentary regarding this outstanding dedication to our vets. Don't like,don't listen

  • As a veteran and a fellow Christmas light sequencer, I just wanna know who the heck sings this song. I want it for my show next year!!!

  • @ChristmasOnPineSt - It's Lee Greenwood

  • Now that is American Spirit! Way to be in the season with the right reason :)

  • I want the MP3 file!

  • @ratwellsp Im sure it was not an intended offense just got overlooked.

  • 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

  • i am a navy veteran of 10 years and this light show is the shit. thank you and may god bless

  • @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!!!

  • @ratwellsp I agree, hopefully that will be corrected.

  • I love this video and the song ( both versions)

  • @SYLVESTERLipkin Who cares, advertise somewhere else. This site is for our vets which you probably do not appreciate.

  • 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.

  • @linbrucamp

    war is hell and I hate what it has done to you and so many others

  • Former Coast Guard - Glad to see so many "Forgot the Coast Guard" comments.

  • @ShellaKoepf who cares

  • 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!

  • @MakeMyDay44Mag im 13 and even ive donated

  • coast guard does not have a theme song u jerks

  • @slapjax28

    are you in the military? if not then shut the fuck up!

    (and yes, the Coast Guard does have a theme song)

  • @slapjax28 Sorry to spoil your fun but the Coast Guard does have a theme song. It is "Semper Paratus "

  • i figure all the dislikes come from certain people in washington dc and all his rag head buddies

  • Great Display!!! What happened to the U, S. Coast Guard ????

  • killersssssssssss is what they are try to find the real truth

  • @sidocoelhojombati you are a asshoe

  • if you are a liberal.....you can thank one of those who paid the ultimate price for you to make the ultimate mistake.

  • @SuperKnighttempler

    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

  • @tejeffers1 Yes, Ron Paul is our only hope now, so get the word out!

  • @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?

  • @SuperKnighttempler Am I to understand you believe only Conservatives are fighting these wars? No disrespect but I do not believe that.

  • @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.

  • Liberals are patriots too!

  • Nice !!!!!! Thank you !!!!!

  • I'm with you @tamlynat...so am I and I love it! I might be a liberal but I'm still a patriot!

  • I am a liberal and an Army Wife and I think this is AWESOME!

  • Nice! Although the light sequencing is off beat to the music

  • Is the display over? Just rode by and it's dark... ;(

  • @Masterpkerko1  It must be a lack of knowledge or mental ability to comprehend this outstanding dedication to our vets.

  • @cwhi100 fk up

  • @Masterpkerko1 Are you a commie ?

  • where is the coast guard in this they are part of us too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thank you for sharing!

  • NICE NICE NICE!!!!!!!

  • I think they should use this for a commerical on tv so more people can see it and also hear it!!

  • UNITED WE STAND!!

  • 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.

  • Hit share and then click on the facebook and then it will go to your facebook page!

  • 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!

  • I am curious to where this house is located?? Marine difficulty!!

  • @nanajacobsen Tallahassee, Florida

  • What's the name of this song!?

  • 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

  • Why can't this be linked to my Facebook page?

  • @TheTinkerbellequeen1 I posted it on mine, are you getting an error ?

  • Would love this on my Facebook page!

  • 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 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.

  • @saintcf1 Then I suggest that you move to another country until you learn how to appreciate what we have.

  • While I don't care for Christmas lights,I LOVE AMERICA and Thank & Respect our Military Personel. Semper Fi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • IM PROUD TO BE AMERICAN AND FREE!

  • very well done

  • i would love to know where you got the flag

  • Brought tears to my eyes in less than 30 seconds. Beautiful.

  • 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!

  • @karenmia7 amen

  • 190 people must hate america

  • WOW! Great video, I am not a vet but my husband, father, & 5 uncles are.

  • THANK YOU! To our wonderful American Veterans and their great families....you are the best!

  • Hooah!

  • All the men in our family serve and have for many generations. SALUTE!

  • American as fuck

  • 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.

  • A HUGE THANK YOU from All American Patriots!!

  • A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OUR SERVICE MEN & WOMEN IN UNIFORM, IN THE RESERVES AND OUR VETERANS!

    MERRY CHRISTMAS 2011

  • This shit will piss a liberal off more than any Muslim terrorist could. 

  • @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 dont know liberals very well.

  • @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.

    My combat boots await your lips.

  • This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! God Bless YOU! Merry Christmas.

  • 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.

  • Nice, 10+. I'll check it out. Please, take some time to check out "Marines and Soldiers Don't Cry. Thanks. The Vet

  • 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!

  • Clark, the lights are blinking. 

  • 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.

  • Where can I find the lyrics for this? I would love to learn to sing it. BIG TIME!!

  • @msamericanpatriot Lee Greenwood God Bless The USA

  • @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.

  • Please don't forget the Coasties who are living and dying right alongside our DoD brothers and sisters every day.

  • Quite a few great light shows this Christmas,but none are as good as this one.Thank you from a Viet Nam era Vet.

  • this is so nice -

  • God bless the troops and to one certain one my nephew Mychal we love you

  • god bless america

  • 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!

    OHRAH!!!!

    Semper Fi to all the Marines!

  • Outstanding! Thanks for sharing the video, showed it to some friends and they said it gave them shivers.

    Semper Fi

  • 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, My Boys

    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

    I love this Land. God Bless the USA.

  • this would be wicked cool if the words could scroll along bottom ... thanks SO MUCH for this video =) ... a grateful vet :)

  • please tell me what song this is, its a special song and i would love to get a copy of it

  • I am a Filipino but I really like this song...NICE! I love it! and it's a song with PURPOSE! :)

  • @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.

  • Amazing ! \m/

  • I CANT SAY THNAK YOU ENOUGH FOR THE EFFORT.......10th mtn.

  • @JaySpVpFla On behalf of my family I would like to extend an undying debt of gratitude to you. Thank you for you service.

  • I was there tonight!!! It was SO AMAZING!! Thank you people who own the house!!! :D

  • Sincere thanks to those who preserve my right to say, "Merry Christmas!"

  • I have posted this on FB as I have friends in the USA with family serving overseas, hoping all come home soon and safe.

  • WOW thank you that was the best light show i have ever seen..May God bless you and Yours..

  • pretty... :D

  • 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."

    Thanks for the great video.

    -- USN Senior Chief (1962 - 1982)

  • 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.

  • thats amazing

    

  • @l3it3r  HOOAH!!!

  • and now all the trolls come out because people are making comments

    sorry pcs of human life

  • 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 And Thank You Sir For Your Service

  • @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
