The Trump Administration has returned a Georgia military installation back to its former name, but the name now represents someone else.
The Army will return the famed Georgia base to Fort Benning, the name originally chosen in honor of Confederate Henry Benning.
This time, the Trump Administration said it’s in honor of Neligh, Nebraska native Cpl. Fred Benning, who served in France during WWI. He was a recipient of the Distinguished Service Cross, the military’s second-highest honor. He led troops through heavy fire after his platoon leader was killed.
