COLUMBUS, Ga. — (COLUMBUS, Ga.) -- The U.S. Army training base formerly known as Fort Benning was renamed Fort Moore on Thursday to honor a late lieutenant general and his wife and remove ties to a Confederate general.
The ceremony to rededicate the base to Lt. Gen. Harold"Hal" G. Moore Jr. and Julia"Julie" Moore was held at the Doughboy Stadium near Columbus, Georgia. Their children were present as officials honored the"We Were Soldiers Once and Young" author and his wife as part of a broader campaign to rename bases that commemorated the Confederacy.
While Moore was applauded for his distinguished career across the three conflicts, speakers at the ceremony emphasized that his wife was instrumental to his success. Julia Moore was a proud military wife who worked with the American Red Cross, advocated for military families and spearheaded changes at the Pentagon, according to the speakers at the event.
The couple's son, Col. David Moore, served for 27 years before his retirement and described himself as"proud to be an Army brat."
