Who Will Be Included In The Proposed National Garden of American Heroes?

Donald Trump is trying to create a "National Garden of American Heroes" that will open before July 4, 2026, which is the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

On January 29, 2025, Donald Trump revoked Joe Biden's executive order related to his garden (originally proposed during his first term), and called for six additional names to be added to the list of historical figures that would receive a statue in the garden.

Here are some of the the 192 men and 52 women that are set to receive a statue in the garden (if Congress ever appropriates funds to the project) that may interest you:
