2025 "July 4th Fireworks" 🎇

sAmuel & dAvid Shen Miller Observatory Tower 

The SDSM observatory tower is to host July 4th 2025 Fireworks Spectacular while honoring the three greatest Peace Giants in the history.  The three grandest Peace Messengers of the previous generation Patriots are righteous, fair, kind, dislike evil intensely and ever so devoted in worshipping God with Heart & Soul. They all share some interest in common, besides a son and two grandsons, that's they never failed to marvel the wonderful displays of fire works on National holidays.

The three share two grandsons Samuel & David  through their shared one son Hon. Lawrence Miller.
