I never really cared about fireworks. Actually, to be entirely honest, when you're in a country that's trying to decide whether or not to risk blowing itself up -- you tend not to give two shits about patriotism either.
Especially when you know the worse. Especially when you know everything people have done for this country. My father was courtmartialled for killing 7 Japanese POWs on a bet, claiming he could shoot them all with 8 bullets at 50 paces.
...But standing in the middle of a street that I saw destroyed. Knowing that what happened where I'm from hasn't happened here -- that gives me hope for the future. That makes me... proud of us, I guess. So maybe I'll care about the fireworks this year.
