Fort Bragg returned: The army renames the NC base in honor of the hero of World War II
With Cannon Fire and the performance of “Caisson Song”, Fort Bragg, North Carolina, has been officially redeemed in the original name, and has now paid tribute to the Second World War hero instead of a military officer from the Mexican-American War, who later became a general confeder general.
Under the guidance Defense Minister Peta Hegsetth, on Friday, held a 260,000-based ceremony ceremony in front of Fayetteville to reverse the change of Democrats to Fort Liberty and honored Maister, whose courage in Bastogne saved the lives of her members of her colleagues of US services.
The descendants of PFC Roland L. Bragg – who died in 1999 – were available while Gregory Anderson General, Gregory Anderson, offered objections to the service of the late veterans and launched renaming. He earlier named after General CSA Braxton Bragg.
“Today, we are gathering on an installation that is the largest in our army per capita, covering 164,000 hectares, supporting over 48,000 soldiers, 80,000 family members, civilian Ministry of Defense in 2000 and almost 100,000 retirees and their families,” said Anderson, commander of the 18th Air Force Corps.
“Fort Bragg is not just a single base. It is a platform of the projection of the main force of our nation. It is a culture of toughness and fighting for war, which is a way of life. We call Fort Bragg as the center of the universe, the heartbeat of our army to wound, without any war, to help and help others to help and help others.
The granddaughter of Roland Bragg also offered objections, talking about her grandfather never published her military service and was a quiet, dear patriarch of her family.
She told one story of his enjoyment of the pancake grill for his grandchildren in any form that the children wanted, no matter how complex.
The Bragg were trapped by the German in 1943 and – as Anderson Retallod – somehow convinced the Nazi officer to let him and his fellow prisoners, because they were both free masons. Provided that the Nazi sergeant is thrown out – to give a sign of the fight – Bragg is happily obliged, and he and his men were liberated.
Bragg then commanded Nazi ambulance and drove through a fierce fire to US lines and later thinking that all other wounded parachutes were killed in a cross -fire.
Only when he received a letter from the Californian veteran decades later did he find that some survived day.
About four years Fort Bragg was “Fort Liberty” – one of several bases, mostly in the south, which Democrats renamed the removal of the remains of the confederation.

“I recognize the name Fort Bragg has a meaning that goes beyond Braxton Bragg,” Ua wrote 2021 Fayetteville Observer column. “This is a very difficult question for many in our community and appreciate that there is a lot of passion on both sides.
On Friday, Hudson told Fox News Digital exclusively that the change in honor of Roland Bragg is “respecting these brave soldiers” who went through his doors “as well as their families”.
“When leaders around the world hear the name Fort Bragg, they know that it represents the men and women of our air and special forces stationed there. These are some of the most dynamic, capable and elite troops in our army. When Trump needs a quick military answer, he calls Fort Bragg,” Hudson said.

Other changes in 2021 included Fort AP Hill in Virginia – named after a close friend of General Stonewall Jackson, who called from a nearby Culpeper and killed him by an officer in Pennsylvania during the Third Battle of Petersburg, while the Confederation began to demolish.
Fort Lee in Petersburg, Virginia is now Fort Gregg-Adams. Fort Hood, Texas, now is Fort Cavazos. Fort Rucker, Alabama, is now Fort Novosel. Fort Pickett in Nottoway, Virginia is now Fort Barfolk. It remains to be seen whether the Pentagon will strive to rename the remaining redesigned installations.
As for Hegseth’s mentioned standing point on the changes of base names, the Associate Press has hinted that more change comes at the request of Trump and administration.
“I never called him Fort Liberty because it’s not Fort Liberty. It’s Fort Bragg,” he said.
