==Memorials and honors== {{main|List of memorials to Anthony Wayne}} [[File:Anthony-wayne-philadelphia.jpg|left|thumb|155x155px|[[Equestrian statue of Anthony Wayne]] (1937) by American sculptor [[John Gregory (sculptor)|John Gregory]], located at the [[Philadelphia Museum of Art]].]] A lunette above the door in the [[United States Senate]] room 128, designed originally to house the [[United States Senate Committee on Armed Services|Senate Committee on Military Affairs and Militia]], features a [[fresco]] by [[Constantino Brumidi]] named "Storming at Stonypoint, General Wayne wounded in the head carried to the fort".<ref>{{cite book |url=https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GPO-CDOC-103sdoc27/pdf/GPO-CDOC-103sdoc27-10-8.pdf |title=Constantino Brumidi: Artist of the Capitol |publisher=U.S. Government Printing Office |year=1998 |location=Washington, DC |pages=106, 109 |chapter=8 "Gems of the Capitol" |access-date=4 November 2019}}</ref> On September 14, 1929, the [[United States Postal Service|U.S. Post Office]] issued a stamp honoring Wayne which commemorated the 135th anniversary of the Battle of Fallen Timbers. The post office issued a series of stamps often referred to as the "Two Cent Reds" by collectors, most of them issued to commemorate the 150th anniversaries of the many events that occurred during the [[American Revolution]]. The stamp shows [[Bruce Saville (sculptor)|Bruce Saville]]'s [[Battle of Fallen Timbers Monument]]. In February 2019, the city council [[Fort Wayne, Indiana]], approved the creation of Anthony Wayne Day by a vote of 6β3.<ref>{{cite news |date=16 July 2022 |title=City observes General 'Mad' Anthony Wayne Day |url=https://www.wane.com/news/local-news/city-observes-general-mad-anthony-wayne-day/ |work=WANE 15}}</ref> The approval sparked debate, was criticized by other councilmen, reporters, and the Miami tribe. The [[Miami tribe]], who maintain a strong connection with Fort Wayne as part of their ancestral homeland, objected to many of the facts put forward by supporters to champion Wayne. The Miamis were quoted, "In a show of respect for Fort Wayne's own sovereignty, the tribal council came to a decision: It would object to the resolution's historical errors and omissions, but not to the honoring of Wayne himself."<ref name="Savage-2020b"/> The [[Wayne National Forest]] located in southeast Ohio was named in honor of General Wayne. It was established as a National Forest for the public in December 1992. ===Locations named after Anthony Wayne=== *[[Wayne, Illinois]]<ref>{{cite news|title=Several Towns Named After Founders and Heroes |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/872352/kanedupage_county_il_toponym_origins/|newspaper=The Daily Herald|date=December 28, 1999|page=220|via = [[Newspapers.com]]|access-date = August 17, 2014 }} {{Open access}}</ref> *[[Fort Wayne, Indiana]]<ref>Brice, Wallace A.
