I wonder

I grew up in a house with an Army combat vet of WWII and a Vietnam vet; my Great Uncle's included an Army Air Corps vet of WWII, a Pearl Harbor survivor, a tank driver who had his knee blown out at Anzio, and a family friend who lost an eye to a Japanese bayonet on Guadalcanal. None ever complained about fireworks; indeed I have many happy memories of them enjoying them on the 4th. I'm not saying someone can't be affected by PTSD on Independence Day, but my grandfather's generation would have viewed their complaints with a skeptical ear.
