FORT BRAGG, N.C. — Sources tell WRAL News a proposed new name for Fort Bragg will be announced on Tuesday. (5/24/22)
The Naming Commission is expected to make the announcement at 2 p.m. and answer questions.
Fort Bragg is named for Gen. Braxton Bragg, who served in the Confederate army and owned a plantation where people were enslaved.
Last year, Congress voted to mandate that military installations named after Confederate figures or sympathizers be renamed by 2023.
The other bases that will be renamed include:
Fort Benning, Ga.
Fort Gordon, Ga.
Fort Hood, Texas
Fort A.P. Hill, Va.
Fort Lee, Va.
Fort Pickett, Va.
Fort Polk, La.
Fort Rucker, Ala.

Yes but that symbol of national healing doesn’t matter to the modern people who were never enslaved and only “hurt” because they have been told by one another and their chosen politicians they are lesser Americans than all the others.
Hell, the dems don’t believe in any of that either....
This is true. And he was an ornery a-hole.
Fort Rue Paul. Because no matter how you snap your finger, underneath it is still Ft. BRAGG.
Whose lives will be improved by renaming the bases?
