Fort Bragg, for example&#8211;one of the most prominent installations in the country&#8211;was renamed Fort Liberty at the time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We won a lot of battles out of those forts. It&#8217;s no time to change. And I&#8217;m superstitious, you know, I like to keep it going, right? I&#8217;m very superstitious,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;We want to keep it going. So that&#8217;s a big story.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In February, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth changed the name of Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pursuant to the authority of the Secretary of Defense, Title 10, United States code section 113, I direct the Army to change the name of Fort Liberty, North Carolina to Fort Bragg, North Carolina,&#8221; Hegseth said, announcing the change. &#8220;That&#8217;s right, Bragg is back.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Additional Reading:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wakerell-Cruz, R.
