President Donald Trump announced the restoration of Confederate names to seven U.S. military bases, including Fort Hood and Fort Bragg, reversing previous renaming efforts. He stated, 'We won a lot of battles out of those forts. It’s no time to change.'

This decision, unveiled during a speech at Fort Bragg, comes ahead of the Army's 250th anniversary parade. Trump emphasized tradition, expressing, 'I’m very superstitious. We want to keep it going.' Critics argue the move revives divisive symbols.

Fort Bragg, initially named after Confederate General Braxton Bragg, had been renamed Fort Liberty in 2023; it now reverts to its original designation, honoring a World War II paratrooper with the same surname.
