    It’s always struck me as rather odd that, in the US, one of our major holidays celebrating the military features fireworks considering how awful they can be for many veterans’ PTSD.

      I’ve never met one Veteran that was against planned fireworks displays. It’s the backyard ones that are the issue.

      I mean when I set off some fireworks I am not trying to mess with some vet. You are right however, I should be more aware of this issue.
