Possible name after Flag Officers and Past Presidents who are only accepted by today's PC society. Which, by the way, I gave up over half of my life to protecting their freedom of speech. T

Fort Picket to new name John Paul Jones, General Isenhower, Gen Mc Arthur Admiral Burke. WE HAVE MANY USA HEROS AND MANY MEDAL OF HONOR HEROS, WHICH SHOULD BE A NO-BRAINER. CHESTY PULLER, OR THOSE FINE MEN AND WOMEN FROM THIS LAST 20 YEAR CONFLICT

I love this idea and to match the reason this is being done, I think it would be great to consider military minorities of note (black, hispanic, women, asian, etc.)
Examples:
Ft Davis -- Benjamin Davis, first black man in the military (reached Brig Gen rank)
Ft Serna or Ft Martinez -- Marcelino Serna, first hispanic american to receive Distinguished Service Cross, Joe Martinez is the first hispanic american Medal of Honor recipient
Ft Calugas -- Jose Calugas looks to be the first asian american Medal of Honor recipient
Ft Bradley -- Ruby Bradley was a member of the Army Nurse Corps and retired as one of the most decorated military women in history according to an article from the USO.
Just a few submissions on my end. Best of luck finding great names!

I'm not really concerned how the military installations acquired their names, but since it's been directed, I would have each installation renamed in honor of a prominent soldier, rather enlisted or officer, who made a big impression on an activity that occurred on that installation, during any given time period. I'm retired, and the posts names occurred before my time, but it's still something that should not be overlooked in this country, to help reduce any form of racism or hate.

MOH Awardees who served at those bases or came from that state.

MOH recipients, as others have mentioned. I try to be positive, but I was born at Fort Belvoir. Will I have to get my birth certificate changed? What will I say when asked "where were you born?"

In a world of political correctness, comma this should be stopped percould be stopped. While I'm a Yankee by birth, having been born in Michigan, I disagree with this renamed things because of politics.
Having said that, if they must be renamed then name them is named them after metal bonnet recipients, or the general or Union officer whofficer who was opposite them.
