TRACY, Calif. — A pair of military heroes are leading the effort to stop their neighbors from lighting fireworks, sources say.

"You know, we went over there and did awesome operator things for your freedom, but we just want to ask that you respect our sacrifice by not exercising that freedom," said former Army Sgt. Joshua Taylor. "And if you do, you're a disrespectful little shit."

Taylor's best friend Matt Zimmerman echoed his thoughts.
