The U.S. Army training base Fort Benning was renamed Fort Moore on Thursday, as part of a larger effort by the military to remove associations with the Confederacy.
The Georgia base, which was previously named for Confederate general Henry L. Benning, was redesignated in honor of Lt. Gen. Harold “Hal” Moore and his wife, Julia “Julie” Moore.
“Together, Hal and Julie Moore embody the very best of our military and the very best of our nation,” Maj. Gen. Curtis A. Buzzard, the base’s commanding general, said at Thursday’s ceremony, according to an Army press release.
“They were dedicated to their country, committed to their family, and inspired generations of Soldiers to follow in their footsteps,” Buzzard added.
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.
