First off, don’t take the title the wrong way. This is strictly a personal event and (hopefully) not related to other military installations.

Last night we bought our daughters a small pack of fireworks so they could light them off in celebration of America’s “birthday”.

Seriously though, I’ve been lighting fireworks since I was in grade school, maybe about 6 years old or so. > more <
