Fort Benning renamed in honor of military couple.
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Hill
The U.S. Army training base Fort Benning in Georgia has been renamed Fort Moore in honor of Lt. Gen. Harold “Hal” Moore and his wife, Julia “Julie” Moore, as part of a larger effort by the military to remove associations with the Confederacy. Harold Moore commanded the 7th Cavalry Regiment stationed at the base during the Vietnam War, while his wife served as an advocate for military families. The base’s redesignation comes after Fort Hood was renamed Fort Cavazos on Tuesday and Fort Lee was renamed Fort Gregg-Adams last month to similarly remove associations with their original Confederate namesakes.
