Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the North Carolina military base formerly called Fort Bragg will once again carry that name after it was changed to Fort Liberty by the Biden administration.
In a memorandum signed by Hegseth, the old name of the base was restored. However, instead of being named after Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg, it is being renamed after Pfc. Roland L. Bragg, a World War II soldier who earned the Silver Star after driving a stolen German ambulance 20 miles to an Allied hospital during the Battle of the Bulge, which took place just over 80 years ago.
