This is always a difficult day for me, because there are truly wonderful fireworks displays all over the area. I can't watch them, because they make me think I'm back in Vietnam and I get extremely uncomfortable within 30 seconds of the display starting.
When I was a kid, I loved fireworks and never missed a show. Now I have one of the greatest fireworks companies in the world nearby and all my friends are huge fans. Tough to have to miss it, but the last time I tried to watch a show I wanted to crawl into a hole and hibernate for a week.
