Real Ron Kovic in " Born on the 4th of July " parade scene

   I  can understand your brother's problem. Vietnam veterans might recall the opening scene of the gripping movie " Born on the 4th of July ". It was based on the book by wounded Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic ( played by Tom Cruise ).In the opening scene of that movie the real Ron Kovic in a wheel chair in the parade is seen to grimace as he hears loud fireworks go off.
Reflects Kovic : " I am your Yankee Doodle Dandy come home ".
It might make more sense to ban foolish wars than to ban fireworks on the 4th of July. The real Ron Kovic has been an anti-war activist for many years now.
