Growing up in a small town, my family never missed an Independence Day fireworks display at the local mall. We would park on the highway a few miles from our house and enjoy the show without worrying about the traffic. All grown-up, my family still enjoys a good fireworks display, and we catch them as often as we can. While there are a lot of symbols associated with July 4th, fireworks will always be my favorite.
