              <text>In 1983, President Ronald Reagan created a Presidential Commission to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the arrival of 13 German Mennonite families in Pennsylvania. The Commission decided to create a German-American Friendship Garden on the National Mall. Donations to support the project came from American and West German businesses; in the 1980s, Germany was divided into two countries, West Germany and East Germany. The garden was dedicated on November 15, 1988. </text>
