Properly done fireworks


Pathfinder force over Germany, WWII


Personally, I hate fireworks, the noise, the explosions. Always reminded me of Pathfinder Force over Germany. Don't much like the 4th of July either.

But I just wanted to say that for a lot of people, this is a very tough day, especially with PTSD. While everyone else is celebrating, they're either alone, or pretending nothing is wrong. And every firecracker reminds them exactly what is wrong, and why they aren't the same.

It's easy to talk about sacrifice on the 4th of July. But who talks about what people live with?
