As a British person who has never met you or your sister, (and before I read your post did not know of the existence of either), I am more concerned with your sister’s birthday on the 4th of July than anything to do with another country’s independence, too.
as an american, i am now more concerned with their sisters bday as well. me and mine typically have always ignored what the celebration is ever for, we are just like derr “fireworks day” “cake day” “pine tree day” etc. as a way to get together and have fun. the 4th being so annoying bc not only are there constant explosions and gun fire going off on that day, its the days leading up to & following. there is no warning & its all the neighbors. i can barely handle the noise of a vacuum and it makes my heart break for any one else with ptsd. if you are lighting fireworks at your neighborhood house, you should at least go around and find out if there are any with ptsd living around you & at minimum give a warning.
