The music tonight was outrageous! This is an American holiday! We need to honor our country and play American music!

Thanks for the show, but what a crime it was traffic wise. It took me an hour and a half to get from 33rd Ave. to Tin City.
Naples cops, a little advice, get out of the road with your boy scout flashlight and black uniforms. And to the mini-me Sheriff standing IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURNING LANES AT FIFTH AVENUE AND 41, what are you thinking? Yelling at cars to "move quickly" as you stood in the road is not the way to control traffic.

I agree and came to this website tonight to see if it was just my family thinking that. It seemed at times we were in a night club. probably about three or four songs were patriotic. Very disappointing for such a beautiful city.

The fireworks display was good. The horrible garbage coming from cheap speakers with some local radio stations noise was heartbreaking. I gather they paid some of the cost and the city sold our national soul. We thought we would lie on the beach and watch a display and reflect. We were blasted with scratchy cuts from pop songs mixes with a bit of patriotic type stuff. This city of class gave a show of nothing that will be used as a model to follow. The city manager and or mayor could not have approved of this. If they did.............

I think it is ironic for non-military people to feel patriotic upon expoding devices imported from a foreign country, one day a year.

The stench of gunpowder in the night is unforgetable.

And your point is?

The fireworks are made in Pennsylvania. Last time I checked, Pennsylvania was part of the USA.
This is in reference to post #5.

Any Illegals want to respond ???Guess NOT !!!

"volochine" Its gunpowder that keeps you in possession of your head otherwise some islamic lunatic would be splashing it all over the internet along with anyone else who disagreed with them. The stench you noticed was not the gunpowder..it was the music!

The fireworks are manufactured in Pennsylvania by a family-owned company that has been producing quality fireworks for over 50 years.

I also agree with the music. I would have rather heard the mexicans behind me keep on with their jibber than listen to Top 40 mixed in with Lee Greenwood.

Thanks to Naples for a good fireworks show. Next time, just play patriotic songs though.

The 4th of July is my Yellow Lab. Angel's birthday. I try to celebrate this day in a special way because I rescued her, much in the same light that our founding fathers rescued our nation from peril 232 years ago.

Angel and I marched together in the parade along with several hundred or so supporters of Kevin Rambosk for Sheriff. I had the pleasure of walking with Sheriff Hunter and his family. I'm sure it was a bittersweet day for him, as many people along the way thanked him for his many years of public service to Collier County.

Let's not forget that our 4th of July celebration IS a political event. We are celebrating our independence from political tyrany and oppression, while we acknowledge freedom and justice for all. It most certainly is a justified political holiday, and perhaps more of us should read The Declaration of Independence again for some clarification.

We have been shooting fire works over Iraq for the 5 years and the Iraq's are thrilled to death. About 300,000 of them.

Patriotic songs? Like what God Bless America? I understand not liking the music, but what everyone said is so fake its not even funny. It should be just music, not some forced pseudo patriotic songs that make people feel secure that they are "true" Americans.

Iraq and Afghanistan needs this....Pull all our troops out..warn all the civilians to lean..AAND NUKE THE HELL OUT OF THEM...THEN IT WILL BE OVER...REMEMBER HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI...!!IF IT WERE,T FOR THE 2 NUKES WE DROPPED,100,000 MORE GI'S WOULD HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIVES !! LET'S END IT NOW !!!!

Fort Myers had 4 fireworks displays - Ft. Myers Beach, Cape Coral, Ft. Myers on the River, and Hammond Stadium. Naples, two - Sudgen and the Pier. How much money? Why?

I would rather everyone attending this wasting of money to show their patriotism by giving blood, buying a war bond, or saving the gas and not going.

--There are war bonds, aren't there?
--Aren't we at war?
--Where's our patriotic sacrifice during a time of war? Go to a fireworks display, smoke dope, drink beer, have a cigarette, show off your tatoos, inappropriate dress, and foul language?

I guess I'm an old fuddy-duddy.

I say it should be patriotic songs, just like it is red white and blue.....

we went to the fireworks at the Pier last year. We felt like we were in MEXICO

Let's remember what this day is celebrating!@!

Hey Naples41, You are the funny one... sorry you have to feel like you are surrounded by fake insecure true americans that enjoy listening to music about our country. Who is the insecure one? And to everyone else who thinks that any other culture or race should not enjoy the celebration of our country at the pier well then what exactly are you celebrating? As an American and the wife of a Cuban I can tell you he was just as interested in celebrating this country's freedom for that was the reason he came here and he is just as thankful as any "true" blooded american if not more.

cornandbeans...did you actually go to the display?

In this time of war....where soldiers are fighting for our freedom...okay and everything else on top of this:

Let's appreciate the freedom we have to enjoy these fireworks, too.

Yes...I agree with your fuddyduddy comment, too.

Until someone actually tells me the name of the PA company producing fireworks domestically for 50 years, I'll stand by my statement.

Most fireworks in this country come from China. They might be assembled over here, but components will come from China.

Pharmacuetical companies import ingredients from China.

Dear Lord,
There is no greater feeling of liberation than to experience this freedom from sin and death that you have provided for me through Jesus Christ. Today my heart and my soul are free to praise you. For this I am very thankful.

On this Independence Day I am reminded of all those who have sacrificed for my freedom, following the example of your Son, Jesus Christ. Let me not take my freedom, both physical and spiritual, for granted. May I always remember that my freedom was purchases with a very high price. My freedom cost others their very lives.

Lord, today, bless those who have served and continue to give their lives for my freedom. With favor and bounty meet their needs and watch over their families.

Help me to live my life in a way that glorifies you, Lord. Give me the strength to be a blessing in someone else's life today, and grant me the opportunity to lead others into the freedom that can be found in knowing Christ.

Amen

Thanks antiquepaper. You beat me to it.

Volochine can go s_ck a Chinese lead based egg now.

Of course cornandbeans (corn&BS) would have a problem with fireworks. Then again, anyone who is losing their eyesight, hearing and grip on reality would have a problem with fireworks since it does not directly benefit them!
