EXCLUSIVE<\/strong>: President Donald Trump<\/a> will sign an executive order Wednesday establishing a White House task force focused on coordinating the plans and activities surrounding the celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, Fox News Digital has learned.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The president\u2019s order will organize a “grand celebration of the semiquincentennial of the ratification of the Declaration of Independence.”<\/p>\n

The 250th anniversary of America’s founding<\/u><\/a> is July 4, 2026.<\/p>\n

The task force, which will be named “Task Force 250,” will “coordinate the plans and activities of federal agencies for an extraordinary celebration of the 250thh Anniversary of American Independence.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Task Force 250 will build upon the U.S. Bicentennial Celebration half a century ago. The White House told Fox News Digital that the celebration “emphasized national renewal of our founding ideals after a period of national unrest and division.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The order, which Trump is set to sign Wednesday, will also reinstate executive orders from his first administration that would establish the National Garden of American Heroes, a statuary park memorializing 250 historically significant Americans, and commission artists for the first 100 statues.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has learned that the National Garden of American Heroes will honor “American heroism” after dozens of monuments to Americans, including presidents and founding fathers, were toppled or destroyed and never restored.<\/p>\n

The order also reinstates an order to protect American monuments, memorials and statues from destruction or vandalism.<\/p>\n

The White House said America\u2019s 250th anniversary will “afford an opportunity to unite the American people around their shared history and common future as a nation.”<\/p>\n

The order, according to White House officials, also continues Trump\u2019s “longstanding commitment to honor America\u2019s 250th anniversary and celebrate American history.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

During Trump\u2019s first address to a joint session of Congress in February 2017, he cited the upcoming semiquincentennial and noted that “in nine years the United States will celebrate the 250th anniversary of our founding, 250 years since the day we declared our Independence.”<\/p>\n

The executive orders that Wednesday\u2019s order reinstates were signed in 2020 and 2021 and were created to protect American monuments during unrest and violence in cities during protests and the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
