Fort Hood renamed Fort Cavazos to honor Hispanic 4-star general.

The U.S. Army has officially changed the name of Fort Hood, a Texas Army base, to Fort Cavazos in honor of Gen. Richard Edward Cavazos, a four-star general who fought in both the Korean and Vietnam wars. The change is part of an effort to remove Confederate-affiliated names, symbols, displays, monuments and paraphernalia. The Texas base was initially named after John Bell Hood, who fought for the Confederacy. The estimated cost of changing the references is more than $60 million.
