"Fort Benning renamed to Fort Moore in honor of military couple and Vietnam vet"

The US Army has renamed Georgia's Fort Benning to Fort Moore, in honor of late Lt. Gen. Hal Moore, a decorated Vietnam War commander. The base was previously named after Confederate Brigadier Gen. Henry L. Benning, who was an outspoken anti-Lincoln secessionist. The name change is part of a broader effort by the US military to confront racial injustice. Other bases around the country, including Fort Pickett, Fort Hood, and Fort Bragg, have either recently been renamed or are scheduled to be in the near future.
