President Trump to establish National Garden of American Heroes and Who'll Be In It

President Trump said on Friday that he is creating a new monument honoring "the greatest Americans."

He made the announcement at the end of his speech during an Independence Day fireworks celebration at Mount Rushmore in South Dakota.

"I am signing an executive order to establish the National Garden of American Heroes, a vast outdoor park that will feature the statues of the greatest Americans to ever live," he said.

The White House quickly released the text of the executive order, which includes the creation of a task force "for Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes" which will be led by the interior secretary.

The order said the president will be given a report within 60 days, including a list of potential locations for the garden. The order also contained a list of U.S. historical figures who will receive statues in the garden, and it declared that the park should opened for public access before the 250th anniversary of the proclamation of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 2026.

During his speech, Trump also denounced protesters who have pulled down statues and monuments to historical figures, many of whom had ties to the Confederacy and slavery, calling it a "merciless campaign to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values, and indoctrinate our children." He also said this movement is "openly attacking the legacies of every person on Mount Rushmore."
