It's a neat idea, honestly. More memorials and public displays of folks are worthwhile--if something that should be approached with an eye towards reflecting historical context to individuals displayed--no one could or should make the claim any person enshrined in statue was perfect, and all have some failing or another because all were still human (barring any lizard-man infiltration of the American story ).
A few names that arbitrarily appeal to me for consideration would be Henry Ford, John Coltrane, Standing Bear, Samuel Colt--or John Browning in that same vein, or, to go more contemporary Lee Iacocca. Also contemporary would/could be Chuck Yeager, and while it might be a bit gauche to have a statue of someone living, having the man present for such a statue's dedication would be very appropriate (huh, and today I learned this already exists. Hurray for learning!).
Though I suppose the question is how this garden would interact or overlap with statuary hall in the Capitol? It could be an expansion, it could be its own thing. I dunnow...
