Washington, D.C. – U.S. Congressman Brian Mast (FL-21) introduced the National Garden for America’s 250th Anniversary Act, to establish President Trump’s National Garden of American heroes. This bill facilitates the creation and upkeep of this national site, establishes a tax-credit contribution fund, and enables the Secretary of the Interior to exchange and acquire land for the garden’s location.  

“I am proud to support President Trump’s celebration of American heroes on our great nation’s 250th anniversary,” said Rep. Brian Mast. “The National Garden will be a beautiful site to honor our history and recognize prominent American founders and generations of trailblazers. America’s past and present is filled with heroes from all walks of life and this new garden will soon be open to the public to forever remember their contributions.”

In January of 2021, President Trump issued an executive order establishing a statuary park named the National Garden of American Heroes (National Garden). To begin the process of building this new monument to our country’s greatness, he also created the Interagency Task Force for Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes and directed its members to plan for construction of the National Garden. 

According the the executive order, “the National Garden will feature a roll call of heroes who deserve honor, recognition, and lasting tribute because of the battles they won, the ideas they championed, the diseases they cured, the lives they saved, the heights they achieved, and the hope they passed down to all of us — that united as one American people trusting in God, there is no challenge that cannot be overcome and no dream that is beyond our reach.”

This new legislation pushes President Trump’s plan another step forward, bringing us closer to opening the site to the American public to enjoy.
