“I am old enough to remember 1976, and what a wonderful celebration that was for the country on our 200th anniversary. And with the 250th, we need to go bigger, and that's what we're doing here, restoring these incredible monuments on the National Mall.” - Ted Decker, Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer, The Home Depot
