I am proud to announce the site of the NATIONAL GARDEN OF AMERICAN HEROES. This magnificent exhibition of statues will be located in West Potomac Park, which we are transforming into one of the World's most beautiful public spaces. Right now, it is a totally BARREN field of Prime Waterfront Real Estate along our Mighty Potomac River. When finished, West Potomac Park will be a World Class Masterpiece with elegant Landscaping, and adorned with Beautiful Statues, and be yet another one of my great projects to make Washington, D.C., the Safest and Most Beautiful Capital in the World. The National Garden of American Heroes will feature the MOST BEAUTIFUL collection of statues of AMERICAN HEROES, featuring our Illustrious Founding Fathers, Military Warriors, Religious Leaders, Civil Rights Champions, World Class Athletes, Artists, Entertainers, and MORE. The people of America (and the World!) will come here to learn and be inspired by the "Greats". The National Garden of American Heroes is one more project we are undertaking to honor the 250th Birthday of the Greatest Nation on Earth, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Please, no βathletes, artists or entertainersβ they come and go, people disagree on which ones they like, and our president should not be elevating entertainers as if they have done something substantial for our country. The place will be littered with celebrity statues. Rule should be the person must have lived and died at least 100 years ago before a statue is allowed. Exception is Donald Trump. Unfortunately, our great President is a bit starry eyed about this category.
I disagree. Lots of the good will towards America comes from our cultural exports. Americana and pop culture are a giant tangible example of "this is why America is so amazing and this is why you should strive to be like America"
Also we are trying to make young people proud of our country again. A park full of nothing but powder wigs isn't going to do that. A park full of powder wigs but also Michael Jackson and Judy Garland might..
Entertainers of the past were different. Many served our country during WWII and others entertained our troops around the world (eg. Bob Hope). Actor Audie Murphy was the most decorated American soldier in history. Actors and actresses during that time were real patriots.

I would like to see Audie Murphy, most decorated hero of WW II.
