Disappointing
The husband and I went to our small town's firework display last night. There was a band playing for two hours prior, and we were working the stand for the coffee shop I work at. We were a bit distracted by customers now and again, but both of us noticed the lack of anything patriotic. The town didn't even put out the flags on the utility poles like they did for Memorial Day. There were no patriotic songs, no national anthem, nothing. Just a bunch of people sitting on the lawn listening to the band and waiting for a 5 minute firework show and then sitting in traffic for 45+ minutes afterward.
Wow. How utterly sad. 
Especially considering that we're right outside a military base.
If we ever get stationed here again I'm definitely going to brave the crowds on base for their firework display and celebration. Hopefully they'd have the decency to acknowledge what the day was really about.
