Fort Hood Renamed in Honor of Hispanic Four-Star General Richard Cavazos.
TL;DR Summary
Fort Hood, the third-largest U.S. military base, has been renamed Fort Cavazos in honor of Gen. Richard Edward Cavazos, the first Hispanic American four-star Army general and brigadier general. The renaming is part of a military-wide effort to rename bases, memorials, and other installations associated with Confederate figures. The change involved changing more than 400 signs, a process that was about halfway through by Tuesday.
