[650][651]
2022 marked the point where two hundred years had passed since Grant's birth. On December 23, 2022, as part of the 2023 Defense Authorization Bill, Grant was authorized for posthumous promotion to the rank of General of the Armies of the United States. Preceded by George Washington and John J. Pershing, Grant will become the third person to hold this rank once the authorization is acted on by the President.[652][653][654]

Grant National Memorial, known as "Grant's Tomb", largest mausoleum in North America
Several memorials honor Grant. In addition to his mausoleum—Grant's Tomb in New York City—there is the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial at the foot of Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.[655] Created by sculptor Henry Merwin Shrady and architect Edward Pearce Casey, and dedicated in 1922, it overlooks the Capitol Reflecting Pool.[656] In 2015, restoration work began, which is expected to be completed before the bicentennial of Grant's birth in 2022.[657]
The Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site near St. Louis, and several other sites in Ohio and Illinois memorialize Grant's life.
