IT’S OFFICIAL: SecDef Pete Hegseth Renames Fort Liberty Back to Fort Bragg, But There’s a Twist!

And, there it is: Fort Bragg is back!

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has just signed a memorandum to officially change the name of Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg.

Joe Biden had previously changed the name of Fort Bragg to Fort Liberty in an effort to erase our nation’s history — and wasted around $40 million on the initiative to do it.

However, there’s a twist on the name…

You see, Fort Bragg was originally named after Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg.

That’s why the Biden regime changed it, as part of an agenda to get rid of military bases named after Confederate leaders.

Instead, the newly re-vamped Fort Bragg’s name honors a WWII hero, Roland L. Bragg.

From the Defense Department’s website:

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 Roland L. 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.

President Trump had previously promised to restore Fort Bragg’s name while on the campaign trail.

WRAL added:

President Donald Trump said he would change the name back, while campaigning in Fayetteville in fall of 2024. The location was renamed in June 2023 after having been named Fort Bragg since 1922.

“I walked in, the first question that I asked – ‘should we change the name from Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg,” Trump said on Oct. 4.

“So here’s what we do: We get elected, I’m doing it,” he told the crowd at Crown Arena.

Fort Bragg was a reference to confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg from Warrenton. The name change came as part of an initiative by the Department of Defense to rename nine military installations bearing the names of confederate soldiers.

The Army referred questions to the office of the secretary of defense. A spokesperson for the office did not respond to a request for comment.

According to a commission report, the changes in 2023 cost about $6.37 million.
