Fourth of July and is a time where we celebrate America’s Independence and Freedom with family and friends.

Many THANKS to the men and women of our military past and present . You are appreciated. Thank you for your sacrifices, putting your life and family on hold, to protect us.

With all of the celebrations going on, it can be easy to let your guard down. At MSM, we’ve got some tips and reminders to help you all have a safe and happy Fourth of July.

1. If you are outside Apply and Reapply Sunscreen Liberally throughout the day.

2. Stay Away From Illegal Fireworks.

3. Never Leave Children Unattended with Sparklers. Keep sparklers away from clothing and other flammable materials.

4. Only light fireworks outdoors, preferably on a smooth, flat surface, away from all flammable materials/liquids including dry leaves and paper.

5. Remember that babies, pets, veterans with PTSD and other older adults react to loud and sudden noises such as fireworks.
