President Trump has reinstated his earlier initiative to establish a "National Garden of American Heroes" ahead of the U.S. semiquincentennial in 2026. This executive order aims to honor 250 significant figures across diverse fields like politics, arts, and activism. The original list proposed 244 figures, including historical icons and contemporary celebrities. The initiative has raised questions about logistics, including the garden's location and the commissioning of statues, while emphasizing the celebration of America's unique cultural heritage and spirit of excellence in various domains.
The National Garden will be built to reflect the awesome splendour of our country's timeless exceptionalism," Trump wrote in his original 2021 executive order.
The order further stipulates that the number of "heroes"—among them politicians, musicians, scientists—total 250 for the occasion.
