Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth Renames Fort Liberty to Fort Bragg 🏆

[League Champion 1,911]

While flying aboard a C-17 from Joint Base Andrews to Stuttgart on February 10, 2025, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth signed a memorandum renaming Fort Liberty in North Carolina to Fort Bragg. The new name pays tribute to Pfc. Roland L. Bragg, a World War II hero who earned the Silver Star and Purple Heart for his exceptional courage during the Battle of the Bulge. This change underscores the installation's legacy of recognizing those who have demonstrated extraordinary service and sacrifice for the nation.

Thank You, Pete!

Hegseth split the difference. It's not named after Braxton Bragg but Roland Bragg.
