Trump says he’d change name of Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg if elected
Former President Donald Trump said he would change the name of Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg if he’s elected.
Trump made the remarks on Friday night during a town hall in Fayetteville, N.C., which is near the military installation.
“I walked in — the first question that I asked — should we change the name from Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg? First question,” he said as the crowd cheered. “Right, so here’s what we do — we get elected, I’m doing it. I’m doing it.”
The renaming of Fort Bragg was part of a controversial three-year process to strip the names of Confederate leaders who took up arms against the United States in the Civil War from Army installations.
