Trump Signs Bill Placing Medal of Honor Monument on the National Mall
The monument will honor all Medal of Honor recipients and be funded entirely by private donations, Trump said.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump signed the Hershel "Woody" Williams National Medal of Honor Monument Location Act at the National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington, Texas, authorizing a new monument on the National Mall.
- Named for the late Marine Corps veteran Hershel "Woody" Williams, who died in 2022 at age 98, the bill recognizes his actions operating a flamethrower during the battle of Iwo Jima.
- Fewer than 4,000 Americans have earned the military honor, and the monument will rely entirely on private donations. Congress passed the legislation with 100% unanimous support across eight votes over six years.
- The National Park Service will now identify a site near the Lincoln Memorial for the installation. The National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation will organize a design competition to align the project with surrounding sightlines.
- Retired Maj. General Patrick Brady described the monument as ensuring "the service and sacrifice of Medal of Honor Recipients... will forever have a place of honor in America's front yard." The initiative emphasizes values over valor for future generations.
