Memorial Day fireworks need to be discontinued.
IMO, "Bombs bursting in air" is hardly the way to show respect and compassion for the lives lost under fire. It enrages me each year as my town continues to resort to the fireworks ritual. It's supposed to be a solemn day, not one of celebration, and what of those who suffer from PTSD and other war-related traumas? Shameful, I say.

2. Memorial Day? Do you mean July 4th?
In any case, I agree. Enough with the fireworks and all that crap.
In a crowded place these days some may think it is gunfire and we may have a lot of "good guys with guns" shooting innocent people. Enough already.
Yep, wrong holiday DUmmie

4. Definitely Memorial Day
I live in New England, and there are many towns nearby that "honor" our war dead with pyrotechnics each year. Please understand, I have no problem with July 4th fireworks or any other time when they're appropriate. It just seems to me that Memorial Day and Veterans' Day aren't in that category.
Doofus doubles down.

5. Interesting - never heard of fireworks on Memorial Day
Thanks for the education. Have heard of some 21 gun salutes.
I am still in favor of just doing away with fireworks.
Note to self, get ye oer to the fireworks store tomorrow and lay in a supply.

12. Another stupid law in Michigan.
Once they started that (and I do believe the law says any holiday) it's nonstop fireworks and very few people abide by the law. It's pretty disgusting. I live in a senior community and some of the seniors with dementia are traumatized by it also. Anyone with a dog cannot enjoy it at all.
Works for me!

DUpipo-Morons need to visit China for the 2-3 weeks around Chinese New Year.

DUmmies hate any display honoring our country or the men and women that fought and/or died to protect it.

F that, I've fired tank main guns, stood next to 155s firing, seen bombs get blown in place, and all that happy shit. Fireworks are cool, if you don't like it stay home.

Maybe if DUpipo loved and respected this Country they would enjoy a nice fireworks display.
If that is too much to ask of them, they should pick a better country to live in.

Bring on the fireworks!

Not a "thing" here either, but if it POs DUpipo I'm all for it. What does happen around Silicon Valley the 2 weeks before Memorial Day is a plane restoration outfit brings a B-17 and a B-24 to Moffett Field. For a certain amount one can do a walk-through tour, and for a certain AMOUNT people can take rides around Silicon Valley. I happen to live near the landing path for Moffett, so I see them flying fairly low. Appreciating historical things, it's pretty cool; one morning I saw the B-17 heading in, and then 5 or 10 seconds later I saw the B-24 following behind it. The week after Memorial Day the planes heads over to the nearby Livermore Airport for a week there (I worked in Livermore in the late 2000s).
I would love to hear DUpipo's reactions to WW2 bombers flying overhead! :-)

That is the Collings Foundation https://www.collingsfoundation.org/the-foundation/foundation-background/ (https://www.collingsfoundation.org/the-foundation/foundation-background/).
They were in So Cal a few weeks ago giving air tours flying out of John Wayne Airport. I was working the Angels game all weekend and it appeared they were using Angel Stadium as a turn point and made several low passes over us in their B-17 and B-24. The crowd seemed to love each pass so I can safely conclude that the majority of Angel's fans are American loving conservatives.

I never heard fireworks on Memorial day either, however if it whips the dipshit libs into a frenzy I think it should be made mandatory for the whole 3 day weekend. :-)

There was a bikini car wash a couple of houses down, so there's that...

After the first oh, say, 1,000 times I saw tanks fire their main guns at Graf (3 gunneries in the nine months I was in Bindlach), mere firecrackers don't do anything for me.

Same and agreed.

Paranoid moron.
If it's at a holiday, especially one in which fireworks are expected, nobody would be dumb enough to react that way.
