A Pentagon commission on Tuesday offered its recommendations for renaming nine Army bases that currently have Confederate figures as their namesakes. The suggestions would rename locations after African American soldiers and women soldiers for the first time.
Officials with the Defense Department naming commission said the changes were designed to guarantee that prominent military locations have names “that evoke confidence in all who serve.” The panel will issue its final report to Congress later this fall, and the defense secretary will be charged with implementing the changes by January 2024.

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL They should just leave well enough alone. I got some thumbs down on my comment about this previously when this subject was brought up. I still stand by what I said. And, you can't erase history.
