President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence with a grand celebration planned for July 4, 2026. The order establishes a White House task force, chaired by Trump, to organize the event, which will include a new national sculpture garden.
The proposed 'National Garden of American Heroes' will feature statues of 250 historical figures, as initially announced by Trump in 2020. The list of figures, curated by Trump himself, includes names like Davy Crockett, Billy Graham, Whitney Houston, Harriet Tubman, and Antonin Scalia.
