Lt. Col. Stanislav Petrov is the man who didn't push the button, and didn't start WWIII.

Is it tacky to use my fireworks icon to celebrate not having been nuked?

I can see where someone might think so, but I am not that someone, and I find your fireworks icon cheery and appropriate. :-)

Thank You For Posting!

Yes, the Colonel deserves a day of his own. He is the reason we are still here, and boy the saying "No good deed goes unpunished" surely applies to him. Glad the world has heard of him.
