Fort Lee and Fort Bragg could be even easier:
Fort Lee could be rededicated to Francis Lightfoot Lee. From Wikipedia: "...he signed both the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation..."
Fort Bragg could be rededicated to Edward Stuyvesant Bragg, who (among other things) was a BGen for the Union during the Civil War.
Fort Lee could be rededicated to Francis Lightfoot Lee. From Wikipedia: "...he signed both the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation..."
Fort Bragg could be rededicated to Edward Stuyvesant Bragg, who (among other things) was a BGen for the Union during the Civil War.
