So bit of self-indulgent fun. Who would you ADD to this list? Please, no deletions from Trump's list. It's an awesome list....let's just ADD, not take away :)

[Beowulf9]

So are these to be made? Of what? Is this a call to good sculptors or bronze casters? Marble. I really hope these will be of very high quality.

[libh8er]

Rush Limbaugh should also be in the National Garden.

I’d love to see:

Sam Houston
Eliza Hamilton (Alexander’s wife...I love the addition of Dolly Madison...but Eliza lived until 1856...the longest living of the founding generation!)

Sequoyah (I think it’s important to memorialize Native Americans....not in any politically correct way, but in an authentic way. How can we not admire this great man?)

Aaron Copland
Louis Armstrong
Ella Fitzgerald
Frank Capra
Cecil B. DeMille
Steve Jobs
Charlton Heston (damn right!)
Grant AND Lee (obviously won’t happen, but it’s the way it should be)
Robert Frost
Robert Penn Warren

Many many others but that’s a few off the top of my head

[Dick Bachert]

Representative Lawrence P. (for PATTON, his mother’s cousin.
Killed with 268 others on KAL007.
Robert Welch,Jr., founder of the ANTI-COMMUNIST JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY. Named for Capt. John Birch KILLED while on a peaceful mission by the CHINESE.
Those two men did more to TRY to awaken Americans to what we have coming down on us NOW than just about any HUNDRED others one could name.
General Smedley Butler who told us that war is a racket.

[Joe 6-pack]

Lewis and Clark, Samuel Colt, Henry Ford, Nikola Tesla, Bill Donovan, Aaron Bank, Basil Plumley, James Gavin

[airborne]

Alvin York

[Michael.SF.]

Sgt. Alvin York

[God luvs America]

Walt Disney...

Personally I would like to see Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Bonham and John Paul Jones as well- bit that’s not happening.

[Leaning Right]

My first thought was George Patton. He was an imperfect man, to be sure. But he represented America’s tough, can-do spirit.

But Patton is already in the list. So who would I nominate then, if not Patton? Maybe the guy who put the bomp in the bomp bah bomp. Who was that man? I’d like to shake his hand. He made my baby fall in love with me.

(Sorry, couldn’t resist. It’s just that I’m currently on a 1960s doo-wop kick.)

[1riot1ranger]

George Strait, cause he’s the king, army vet, and charity work. Rush Limbaugh, Bob Hope

[Michael.SF.]

Jimmy Stewart, Col James Doolittle, Ted Williams, Pat Tilden

[Texas Eagle]

Crispus Attucks (c. 1723–1770)

Crispus Attucks was an African American man killed during the Boston Massacre and believed to be the first casualty of the American Revolution.

I’d like to see us do something in an overarching way that acknowledges that all of the heroes who have done irreplaceably important things in our country’s history were, are, and will in the future be imperfect. That they were, are, and will be human, and that their imperfection did not prevent them from making crucially important contributions to the road we have travelled to get where we are. Somebody express this better for me, please.

[rigelkentaurus]

I’d like to see if in sections such as: military leaders, businessmen and inventors, scientists, philosophers, explorers, athletes, entertainers, politicians. Pretty sure there are a few other categories I didn’t list.

America has been such an amazing country because of freedom and liberty, and it would be very hard to narrow each section to just 10.

[Huskrrrr]

I’d add George Washington Carver. An amazing scientist, born while slavery was still legal.

[oldbill]

Whatever happened to Randolph Scott?

[DannyTN]

John Glenn - first American in orbit
Neil Armstrong - first man to walk on moon.

I see Christa McCauliff in the list - first female civilian selected to go to space, who died in the Challenger explosion.

And that’s fine, she was brave and can stay. But she isn’t who I think of when I think of space program achievements.

Chuck Yeager - flying Ace and first pilot to exceed the speed of sound.
