Summary
At the National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington, Trump signed the Hershel "Woody" Williams act and privately met Medal of Honor recipients a day before the 25th anniversary of 9/11.
The law clears the way for a permanent monument near the Lincoln Memorial on the National Mall, with Trump and private donors backing the Washington project.
Roughly 100 guests attended, including 16 of the 65 living Medal of Honor recipients, as Trump praised their battlefield heroism and honored the late Woody Williams' role at Iwo Jima.
Lt. Col. William Swenson said the monument would help preserve a shared American narrative of service and sacrifice, casting the project as both remembrance and civic inspiration.
