A blend of patriotism, historic significance, and appreciation for President-elect Donald Trump’s extraordinary political comeback are motivating people to attend his inaugural celebration on Jan. 20.

Six supporters, aged 22 to 78, told The Epoch Times why they felt the need to expend time, money, and effort to go to the celebration. And all half dozen of them remained undeterred in the wake of Trump’s announcement that his swearing-in was being moved from its planned spot outside the U.S. Capitol because of forecasted dangerously cold temperatures.
