Luca and Lennyn Fantasia, ages 7 and 5, were bouncing around the Park Ridge, Illinois, Memorial Day parade in May in giddy holiday mode. They wore red, white and blue outfits, admired the marching band and darted into the street to scoop up hard candy.

Their parents, Megan and John, were quietly discussing whether it was safe to even be there.
