This will be the 1st 4th of July in my lifetime that I will miss the celebrations in my now former hometown of Bristol, R.I. which is known for having the oldest 4th of July celebration in the country. As part of the festivities is a long parade and theme is military, civic, and fire responders. As a now retired VA nurse when I was still working I would volunteer to march along side although most rode in cars and military vehicles the WWII Vets to provide them medical assistance if needed which was a great honor for me as with so few remaining I consider them national treasures. This I will miss but not the fireworks for the same reason you mentioned.
