Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes

What it means

Establishes a task force to create a "National Garden of American Heroes" featuring statues of notable American historical figures. The order responds to statue removals during protests, directing agencies to prioritize commissioning new monuments honoring influential Americans from the Founding Fathers to civil rights leaders.

Expected impact

• Creation of a new national monument site featuring statues of historical American figures
• Increased federal funding for traditional monuments and statues honoring American historical figures
• Potential controversy over which historical figures are selected for representation and how they are portrayed
• Enhanced protection measures for federal monuments and statues
• New educational programs focused on founding documents and American historical ideals
