## Caption

June is PTSD Awareness Month.

As we approach the Fourth of July, remember that fireworks can be difficult for some Veterans and others who have experienced combat, explosions, fire or gun violence. Even when expected, the sounds, lights and smells may bring up distressing memories or reactions.

If fireworks are difficult for you, consider using earplugs or headphones, practicing grounding or breathing techniques and staying connected with supportive family, friends or fellow Veterans.

Support is available. Call 988 and press 1, or text 838255 to reach the Veterans Crisis Line.
