A little over the top....

As most of you know, we are Rodeo fans. We try to catch at least one every summer. Well this summer we caught finals night at the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo. They do a small fireworks display between two to the events. Usually it is the highlight of the Rodeo, besides the bull riding of course. Well Saturday's fireworks were probably the worst part of the rodeo. Here is why....They reenacted a battle from Afghanistan!! As a proud Army Wife and mother to three Army brats, I was offended. We are surrounded by the goings on in Iraq and Afghanstan daily. Military families do not need another reminder of what happens in these countries. Our children especially do not need to be a part of that! I am not saying that we need to censor everything, I am saying that a little more thought should have been put into the fireworks display. I was very upset with it and so were a few others in the stands...
