Audey Munson must be in the “National Garden of American Heroes”

President Trump’s new “National Garden of American Heroes,” a sculpture garden, must include the queen of all American sculpture, NY’s model Audrey Munson (1891-1996), who is buried here in this county. Fellow NY model Hettie Anderson (1873-1938; who was part black, and who appears on three US coins) is another American hero who must also be included. In addition to the many achievements on Munson’s Wikipedia page, I found that she was the first woman to pose for a WWI recruiting poster. Please write to NY’s governor, NY’s senators, and NY’s members of Congress, to tell the president that these two women must be honored.
