‘Bragg Is Back!-Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Changes 'Fort Liberty' Back to 'Fort Bragg'

However, the name change honors Army Private First Class Roland L. Bragg, a World War II veteran awarded the Silver Star and not the Confederate general, Gen. Braxton Bragg, who the base was originally named after. - ’ - Kristina Wong

STUTTGART, Germany — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday while on a C-17 aircraft en route to Germany signed a memorandum renaming “Fort Liberty” back to “Fort Bragg” — the original name of the storied military base in North Carolina.
In a short video posted on X of him signing the memo, he said, “There it is. Pursuant to the authority of the Secretary of Defense, Title 10, United States Code § 113, I direct the Army to change the name of Fort Liberty, North Carolina, to Fort Bragg, North Carolina. That’s right — Bragg is back!'”...

• The renaming of Fort Bragg to Fort Liberty began amid the George Floyd protests in 2020. Congress established a commission to rename bases named after Confederate figures. 
• Then-President Donald Trump vetoed the legislation, but Congress overrode his veto.
