Summary
The commission tasked with renaming military assets bearing the names of Confederate leaders released new recommendations for nine military installations, with some names honoring women and African Americans. The commission recommends changing the name of Fort Bragg in North Carolina, one of the largest U.S. military installations, to Fort Liberty after the value of liberty, rather than an individual.Fort A.P. Hill in Virginia would be renamed Fort Walker after Dr. Mary Walker, a physician who received the Medal of Honor for her service in the Civil War. Another woman, Lt. Col. Gregg, who is the only living individual the commission has recommended a base be named for, served in Vietnam and in Europe through the Cold War, eventually becoming the logistics director for the Joint Chiefs of Staff and deputy chief of staff for logistics for the Army.Fort Pickett in Virginia would be renamed Fort Barfoot after Tech Sgt. Van T.
