How fireworks can impact veterans

MOUNT POCONO, MONROE COUNTY  (WBRE/WYOU) — Millions of Americans are getting ready to celebrate our nation's birthday by attending firework displays across our region. But for some, especially America’s heroes, those traditions can be mentally grueling. The crackling pop of fireworks will be heard throughout our area this week for the 4th of July. Many enjoy the shimmering displays, for some, however, it can be traumatic. Retired Sergeant Major Claudette Williams served in the U.S. Army for 30 years. “Those triggers, those sounds, those flashing lights, all of these things are a contributor to their experience in their service.” Now operating the Women Veterans Museum in Mount Pocono, she explains how veterans suffering from PTSD can be affected by spontaneous fireworks.
