We Texans want Fort Hood restored.
Hpw about also honoring the brave Texans who stayed loyal to the US.
And in Georgia- restore Fort Gordon from the idiotic Fort Eisenhower (who came to Augusta once... to play at Augusta National Golf Club— never even visited Ford Gordon!!!)
Gen. John B. Gordon- Governor of Georgia twice and US Senator from GA twice (elected back then by the GA legislature before the idiotic 17th Amendment came to be).
War hero, statesman, brilliant tactician for not have gone to a military school. Superb equestrian and heroic leader in many major battles. At the surrender in Appomattox, Joshua Chamberlain describes Gordon’s returned honorific salute to Chamberlain’s command to “carry arms” Quoting Chamberlain:
“ Gordon at the head of the column, riding with heavy spirit and downcast face, catches the sound of shifting arms, looks up, and, taking the meaning, wheels superbly, making with himself and his horse one uplifted figure, with profound salutation as he drops the point of his sword to the boot toe; then facing to his own command, gives word for his successive brigades to pass us with the same position of the manual,—honor answering honor.”
Decades of Georgians were inspired by this leader to join the US Military and fight in wars all over the world to defend Freedom. That is the kind of leader whose name needs to be returned to Fort Gordon.
