Trump Restoring Robert E. Lee, Bragg, Benning to Army Bases

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he’s ordered the Pentagon to restore the names of seven Army bases to their original designation that honored Confederate generals.

The change fulfills a campaign promise Trump made to revert nine bases in all back to their original names. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reverted back to Fort Bragg and Fort Benning earlier this year.

“For a little breaking news, we are also going to be restoring the names to Fort Pickett, Fort Hood, Fort Gordon, Fort Rucker, Fort Polk and Fort A.P. Hill and Fort Robert E. Lee,” Trump said during a speech at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, to celebrate the Army’s 250th anniversary.
