Braxton Bragg. In 2023, it was <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/fort-bragg-name-change-fort-liberty-confederate-general\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">changed to Fort Liberty<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n by a congressionally mandated commission to rename nine bases that honored Confederate generals. After President Trump took office, the Pentagon changed the name back to Fort Bragg last month, but honoring a different Bragg than the original.<\/p>\n<p>The base now honors Army Pfc. Ronald L. Bragg, who was awarded a Silver Star for actions during the Battle of the Bulge in World War II, according to a memo signed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. <\/p>\n<p>Rebecca Amirpour and Jennifer Bell, Roland Bragg&#8217;s granddaughters, are plenty proud of their grandpa. Though Amirpour initially thought the name change &#8220;was a joke,&#8221; she feels like &#8220;using our grandfather&#8217;s name is a way of bringing it back in a respectful way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lt. Gen. Gregory Anderson, commanding general of Fort Bragg, says his message to those who find the Bragg name and what it represents to be painful is that &#8220;Roland L. Bragg is someone they can be proud of.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But Fort Bragg wasn&#8217;t the only name recently restored.<\/p>\n<p>Steve Moore&#8217;s family is on the other end of the Army&#8217;s renaming decisions. Two years ago, Fort Benning in Georgia was <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/fort-benning-renamed-fort-moore-julia-moore-hal-moore-georgia\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">renamed to honor his parents<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n \u2014 Lt. Gen. Harold Moore, a highly decorated 32-year infantry commander, and his wife Julia \u2014 by the Naming Commission. <\/p>\n<p>Moore says he was especially touched by the renaming because his mother was also honored, saying the Army was finally recognizing &#8220;the value of the military spouse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Under Hegseth&#8217;s leadership, Fort Moore is now <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/defense-department-fort-moore-fort-benning\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">reverting back to Fort Benning<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\u00a0\u2014 not after the Confederate general it originally honored, but Cpl.
