The intention of my question: I think of the SLC society as peaceful people, so I would like to know if it shivers you to hear anything like that close to where you live. Or even witness it.
Can I ask you guys a question? Have you ever heard a bomb explode in your lives? Games and fireworks do not count.
No, but my parents have. I sometimes forget all the **** they've been through and how tough they really are. I know I wouldn't be able to go through the things they went through when they were teenagers and land on my feet. War sucks.

Anyway, back to the thread.
Which experiences did they live through? Would it be OK to talk about it?
I think you would be suprised what you would do to make it out in one piece.
I personally have not seena bomb go off with my own eyes. I have been shot at and a guy tried to stab me once.

That is mostly true. Not for everyone, but generally.

Vietnam War. The only time I got them to talk about it was when I had to write an essay for my humanities class in high school. Even then, they didn't tell me much. They just talked about the fear they felt every night, trying to sleep through the sound of bombs being dropped. Their villages did get bombed, so they fled on boats and left their families behind. They somehow miraculously survived and ended up in refugee camps. I think my dad ended up in the Philippines. I'm not sure where my mom was. Anyway, fast forward... they both came to America where they met in the beautiful snow-capped city we call Salt Lake City, got married, and created a beautiful baby girl and a gift to the world. That would be me. The end.
Moe: to answer your question via rep, I have no idea where they were exactly. I'll have to ask!
