INDIANAPOLIS, July 3 (UPI) -- Organizers of an Indianapolis fireworks exhibit said Thursday night's display will include some of the ashes from a recently deceased pyrotechnician.

The family of Meredith Smith, who died recently at the age of 74, said some of his ashes will be included in a fireworks shell that will be launched to conclude the show, the Indianapolis Star reported Thursday.

So when Cheney's time comes, will they put his ashes in a bunker buster? I think he'd like that.
