Wounded Warrior Homes, a local organization that supports our veterans, is reminding the public that Fourth of July festivities can be triggering for some vets.
“For myself and a lot of other fellow Marine Corps veterans…random fireworks will always be a trigger. So much so for some guys…that they’ll fall on the ground,” said Luis Garcia.
“Something to consider would just be…to respect that. If there are festivities, keep it there or take your fireworks somewhere else,” he said. “Since then, my life has improved drastically," he said."I’m a graduate now; I’ve got a job. It’s gotten a lot better.”
