Fox News
The National Park Service (NPS) denied a request from South Dakota for fireworks over Mount Rushmore on the 4th of July this year, after former President Trump’s celebration at the park last Independence Day.
"In addition, the park’s many tribal partners expressly oppose fireworks at the Memorial," Frost added in the letter, first reported by The Hill. Last year during Trump’s celebration fireworks returned to Mount Rushmore for the first time since 2009. They had been canceled due to wildfire risks.More Related News
