Fireworks and Combat Veterans Don’t Mix

Other than playing loud music and using drugs to help me get through fireworks on this Fourth of July, I did something different.

This is my explanation of why fireworks and combat veterans don’t mix !

Please help me raise awareness for C-PTSD and share this video with friends and family. The only way to cut veteran suicide is to be aware of the problem.

Thank you!

    Actually, there were very little fireworks around here and they were in the distance!! Hope you fared well.

    Such an important topic. I have PTSD and my trigger is elevators. I have made a lot of progress but educating others about any type of PTSD is crucial!

    This is unfortunate and so many people may not even know these negative effects about fireworks
