Consider veterans scars this Fourth

We shall soon be celebrating Independence Day (the Fourth of July) when we are supposed to remember how valuable our freedoms are. Part of this celebration for many involves discharging private fireworks. Such a practice is not only a terrible fire hazard when things are usually very dry, but also very painful to many citizens who have served in the military, who are seniors or who suffer from disabilities, especially mental issues.

I totally support honoring those who have served in the military but it doesn’t make any sense to celebrate my liberty by blowing up fireworks in the face of those...
