Yes those fireworks can upset a solder back from a tour. A few years back when my son and his friend where home on leave for new years some neighbors started shooting of fireworks and my son and his friend yelled in-coming and hit the ground. God bless all of our solders and their families.

Loved these and remember even more.
Tell your solder thanks. We have one coming in from his second Iraq tomorrow and another still there until October, he already spent a year in Afghanistan, too. The ex-son-in law got back a few weeks ago from his third Iraqi tour. We love and pray for all of them. Hubby and I are both vets although we never did serve in combat, but we understand being away from family for extended periods. God bless 'em all.

thanks Teresa,
My soldier, actually my x husband, but still a friend, has only been back from Afghanistan for about 6 months. My heart goes out to him and his fellow soldiers when he told me today that these last few days he has to close his eyes and concentrate saying to himself "it is only fireworks...it is only fireworks"
I guess people just don't realize how upsetting the fireworks could be to a soldier just home from war.
He said that the fireworks sound exactly like war!
