## Resource

This Fourth of July, veterans get a unique escape: a quiet, cool refuge 650 feet underground at the Strataca Salt Mine in Kansas, designed to shield them from fireworks that can trigger PTSD. Mission Underground, running all night from 6 PM to 6 AM, offers free cots, food, drinks, and calm — a thoughtful gift from Strataca and the Wounded Warrior Project. It’s not just about avoiding noise; it’s about honoring service with peace, and organizers hope to expand this underground sanctuary for more heroes in the future.
