As the country prepared to celebrate its 250th birthday, President Donald Trump announced the opening of a new exhibition honoring “the Heroes and Martyrs of the American Revolution.”

In a pair of Truth Social posts Thursday night, Trump unveiled “Spirit of ’76” at Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C., describing the new outdoor exhibition as a tribute to the Americans whose sacrifices secured the nation’s independence.

“I am thrilled to announce the opening of SPIRIT OF ’76 at FREEDOM PLAZA,” Trump wrote, saying the exhibition honors the “Heroes and Martyrs of the American Revolution” through a series of statues and memorials celebrating the founding of the U.S.

Trump said the exhibition includes an equestrian statue of Founding Father Caesar Rodney, statues depicting 12 Revolutionary War soldiers, and reliefs commemorating the Prison Ship Martyrs — nearly 12,000 Americans who died aboard British prison ships during the Revolutionary War under brutal conditions.
