Summary
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is set to join National Guard members at Meridian Hill Park today, July 2nd, to celebrate the revival of the iconic cascading fountain—once shut down for seven years—and spotlight the D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force. Launched in March 2025 via executive order, this Trump-era initiative unites federal agencies to tackle crime, graffiti, and public space upkeep ahead of America’s 250th anniversary. The National Guard has been instrumental, lending support across the District, and today’s event honors their efforts while underscoring how small beautification wins contribute to a safer, more vibrant nation’s capital.
