Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has just renamed the US Army base in North Carolina, ‘Fort Liberty’, back to it’s previous name ‘Fort Bragg’ – but he did it with a twist.

Fox News reporter Lucas Tomlinson reported tonight that Hegseth has renamed the Army base to Fort Roland L. Bragg.

Instead of being named after a Confederate general, as it was previously, it will now be named after a “World War II hero who earned the Silver Star and Purple Heart for his exceptional courage during the Battle of the Bulge.”

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has signed a new memorandum renaming Fort Liberty in North Carolina to Fort Roland L. Bragg.

Hegseth signed the memo shortly before landing in Stuttgart, Germany aboard a U.S. Air Force C-17.

The name Fort Bragg is coming back, but with a twist. It will not be named after the former Confederate general.

Instead, 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.
