In a significant move, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has signed an order to restore the name of Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg, honoring World War II soldier Roland L. Bragg. This decision marks a controversial yet welcomed change among veterans and the community, as the base will now carry a name with a different historical significance. Hegseth emphasized that while Fort Bragg is making a comeback, this version of the name comes with a twist — it will not reference the original Confederate officer associated with the base. The decision has sparked discussions among Fayetteville veterans, prompting a mix of reactions regarding the renaming process.
