Fourth of July has long meant the American tradition of fireworks. However, last year the illegal fireworks in my neighborhood had the dogs terrified. It went on for hours and was upsetting me as well, because people were aiming between houses. It was totally irresponsible of them.
Going to a professional display at a public place may require some effort to get there, but is far safer for everyone...
We remember 1776 and the American Revolution.
