Great story, glad to see there wasn't dozens of fanatics protesting about a war hero getting his due.  Too bad they didn't take better care of him in his lifetime.

Good story Greg.  Also here, Fort Bragg in Fayetteville NC, a huge Army base, is now renamed Fort Liberty.  Bragg was a bad man during the civil war. Wonder how many bases will be getting renamed around the country?
