Abilene's mayor is asking residents to show support for police, firefighters and ambulance attendants during the holiday season.
Mayor Norm Archibald asks everyone to put a single blue light bulb in the front window of their home.
The light is called the "blue hero light," and the idea first came from an Abilene neighborhood that used the lights to show support for the family of Rodney Holder.
Holder was a 28 year veteran of the Abilene Police Department who was killed in the line of duty in 2010.
The mayor asks that the blue hero lights continue through the New Year's eve celebration.
