The Trump administration has initiated the restoration and replacement of Confederate statues in the Washington, D.C. area, following an executive order issued by former President Donald Trump. Among the statues being returned is one commemorating Confederate war dead, which is set to be reinstalled at Arlington National Cemetery. This move is part of a broader effort to restore Confederate monuments in the capital region. Additionally, a separate memorial, the Vietnam Healing Wall, has been established to honor fallen classmates, highlighting ongoing commemorative activities in the area.
