This weekend marks America s 245th birthday. Communities and individuals all celebrate in different ways on the 4th of July. One of those ways we celebrate is through lighting off fireworks. Whether they are legal or illegal, I m not here to judge. I enjoy a nice fireworks show, the kind with the big mortars that you see across the state. But no matter how you celebrate, please do it responsibly. I d hate for you to have to go through what my friend Nick Beheng, and his family, had to go through 9 years ago.
While it wasn t the 4th of July when Nick was setting off illegal mortar fireworks, it was Memorial Day, he was extremely lucky when the mortar he loaded upside down exploded where it did. It tore his thumb off and blasted a hole in his chest, taking part of his heart, collapsing a lung, and losing part of his liver all due to an illegal mortar firework.
