This is my husbands Fallen Soldier Christmas Display he puts up to remember everyone that is over there and all who made it home. It is an amazing display especially after the 1st snowfall in Longview WA

Fallen Soldier Christmas display

My husband went to Iraq a few years a go and every year since he comes back he puts up a fallen soldier memorial that is just completely amazing. Many people stop to take pictures and to sat thank you for putting somthing like this up. It is a soldier kneeling down infront of a christmas tree that has a pair of boots, homeade gun with helmet on top to memorialize all the fallen soldiers we have. All of our lights are red wgite and blue. It is a very moving display . I am very proud of my husband for making it . He will never forget being over there and never for get the one who never made it home

I think this is a wonderful display and really deserves to win!!! I think that every soldier overseas needs to see this and this man needs to be commended on his efforts to remember all the fallen soldiers. Thank you Sir for doing such a fine job!!!

I drive by this everyday.... It is an amazing thing to see. I wish each and every person could drive by to see it. I am sad to say that I have yet to see that our local news paper The Daliy News has not even mentioned this wonderful display.
