But President Donald Trump denounced the idea. “These Monumental and very Powerful Bases have become part of a Great American Heritage, and a......history of Winning, Victory, and Freedom,” he. “The United States of America trained and deployed our HEROES on these Hallowed Grounds, and won two World Wars. Therefore, my Administration will not even consider the renaming of these Magnificent and Fabled Military Installations.”
Rose, a U.S. Army veteran who won a Purple Heart and Bronze Star for his service in Afghanistan, still serves in the National Guard. He and Clarke wrote that honoring Confederate generals was an affront to Union soldiers who died in the Civil War to end slavery. "While we were encouraged by news this week that the Army might consider renaming military installations named after Confederate generals, men who violated that oath to our country, we are similarly disturbed by recent social media posts suggesting that these names are part of a ‘Great American Heritage’ and are ‘Hallowed Ground,’” Clarke and Rose wrote.
