HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! 🎉

Fireworks are a beautiful part of the holiday-but when handled improperly, they can cause serious injuries, fires and even death. The safest way to enjoy fireworks is by attending a professional show.

If you choose to light legal fireworks, please be mindful of those around you. Loud explosions can be distressing for military veterans with PTSD, and they can frighten pets, young children and wildlife.

Let’s celebrate safely for ourselves and our community.
