Dear Editor:I thoroughly agree with the letters in last week's Patriot. Both Ms. Mayfield and Pat Hayes expressed how I feel about the illegal fireworks that go on for weeks after the holiday is over. I'm sure there are many of us in Downey that feel the same way. Some people have lost sight of what the celebration is all about. I feel very sorry for the family pets who must endure the very loud illegal fireworks. Many animals run away and are lost to their families forever. Hattie Jo Miller Downey
