The Pentagon has announced it is once again changing the name of one of its largest military bases, Fort Liberty, back to its original name, Fort Bragg, but with a twist. 

Instead of bearing the name of Confederate General Braxton Bragg, the home of the 82nd Airborne Division and U.S. Army Special Operations Command will now honor Private First Class Roland L. Bragg, a World War II paratrooper who earned the Silver Star for his bravery during the Battle of the Bulge.
