Earlier this week, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegeseth declared the Army would rename the base in Fayetteville back to Fort Bragg. Instead of taking the name of a Confederate general, as it was for decades until 2023, this time it is named for a World War II soldier. WRAL's Shaun Galleger was the first person to tell PFC Roland L. Bragg about the change.
