Because George Washington brought that fire.

[@JohnW-yv6yp]

We declared independence on July 4th 1776, it took until September 1983 to win. The patriots fought through the brutal summers and frigid winters. With no boots during the cold and no air conditioning in the summer. That’s just the way it is.

Just had a thought. How is it President Trump can provide security in DC for the 4'th celebration, yet after more than 2 1/2 years of his administration, he hasn't found a way to provide security at our southern border? Must be, Trump thought the "Build the wall!" and "Lock her up! cheers by his supporters during his 2016 run for the White House were just optional suggestions. Yes, this must be why Trump has decided to do neither.
