Probably no one has any attachment to Gen. Bragg, but the idea of leftists rewriting history is disturbing. They have to control everything.
“Fayetteville in 1775 signed one of the first accords declaring our willingness to fight for liberty and freedom from Great Britain,” said Donahue, referring to the city adjacent to the base. “Liberty has always been ingrained in this area.”
The cost to rename Fort Bragg — one of the largest military installations in the world by population — , Col. John Wilcox said Friday.
