There is a topic under the Hammond, IN thread where people are posting their July 4th memories. Just thought I'd put the link here, because Shep also fondly remembered his youthful 4ths, as evidenced by the movie Great American 4th of July and his short story of Ludlow Kissel and the Dago Bomb that struck back....and yes, we really did call the aerial concussion bomb fireworks by the name of "Dago Bombs!"
