🎇 A Kind Reminder This 4th of July 🎇
As we gather to celebrate Independence Day, let’s remember that fireworks, while beautiful, can be startling and distressing for some in our community.
🇺🇸 Many veterans live with PTSD and sudden loud booms can bring back painful memories.
🐾 Pets often panic and become disoriented from the noise.
🏡 Some neighbors, such as the elderly, may be sensitive to unexpected sounds, especially at night.
This holiday, please consider:
✨ Limiting fireworks to reasonable hours
✨ Letting neighbors know ahead of time if you plan to celebrate with fireworks
✨ Choosing quieter celebration options when possible
Small acts of consideration help make this day safer and more comfortable for everyone. 💙
Wishing you a safe, mindful, and meaningful 4th of July!
