Since the beginning of our country, millions of troops have made sacrifices for us that many of us could never fathom. In order to protect our country, they’ve sacrificed their entire lives to keep us safe and free.

They leave behind their partners, children, and loved ones to work towards a brighter future while our lives go unaltered.

We remain ignorant about how hard this combat and sacrifice actually is for them. In many wars of our country’s history, we’ve experienced great loss.

Thankfully, the sacrifice of fallen soldiers lives on through our free and unique way of living. The courage and bravery of our soldiers is something that we try our best to honor, especially when the holidays come around. One creative family has taken this honor to the next level with their unique light display.

Although it’s hard to determine exactly how many soldiers have lost their lives throughout our nation’s history, it’s estimated that over 600,000 men and women have given the ultimate sacrifice to maintain our freedom.

Let this number wander in your mind for a while during your daily tasks. While you have the privilege of playing with your children or getting a coffee to start your day, 42 million people have served in the military and put their lives at stake for the betterment of society.

Many people do not have the privilege to enjoy the little things in life as you do, so it’s important to remember them and honor this fact. People in the military also give up the right to celebrate holidays with their loved ones as they are away on duty.

Their birthdays, Christmases, and other holidays go by without them being able to properly celebrate. This fact is what made these homeowners decide to honor them with their patriotic lights for Christmas!

The home, located in Florida, includes a light show set to a song that is sure to make you cry. The lights play along to a Lee Greenwood song, called “Proud To Be An American.”

Sadly, many of our troops won’t be able to see this light show for themselves, but honoring them during the holidays is something that we should all partake in. Because they are far away serving duty instead of spending the time with their loved ones, it’s important that we remember their ultimate sacrifice during these times.

What do you think about this light show and these creative homeowners? Let us know - and pass this on to your friends to share the Christmas spirit!
