Last year a friend posted about how some of our soldiers have a hard time around the holidays with fireworks causing PTSD trauma. Please be mindful of vets in your neighborhood when deciding to use fireworks over the summer.
As the fireworks explode
Across the night time sky
He hears the bombs detonate
Once again inside his mind
Every year he dreads the holidays
And the memories they bring
The sounds and smell of gunpowder
Scarred him when he was just nineteen
And every fuse that is ignited
Brings more flashbacks to his mind
He is haunted by the sounds of war
Brought to life with just a bang
