Not only is the sounds horrific to most of our 'Furry Family Members'...it's also equally horrific to those military service humans that are dealing with their own demons and PTSD issues!
Know your NEIGHBORS - find out if any were activity duty military - be considerate of their emotional stress!

For some veterans, the days leading up to Independence Day are fraught with stress and fear. Extending a little courtesy to those with this sign outside their homes can go a long way.




As the veteran writes in the above Facebook post, those suffering from PTSD know that the Fourth of July is going to involve fireworks. It'��s the unexpected fireworks that require forewarning. Please keep an eye out for this sign and notify their families if you plan to celebrate Independence Day early.


Here - they sell fireworks 3 weeks ahead of the actual date; the local law is they're only to shoot them off 3 days prior to that 4th and ONLY AT THAT TIME...but there are plenty of thoughtless humans that ignore that LOCAL LAW and those sounds carry on for weeks before - during - after the 4th of JULY! grumble

I am at the point I want only commercial display permits to allow to possess fireworks. The injuries and many more than just Vets are disrupted. We are wasteing precious water fighting grass and home fires because of unnecessary fireworks.
