]]>“That’s right. Bragg is back,” Hegseth said in a video posted on X after signing the memo onboard a military transport aircraft bound for Germany.
“The new name pays tribute to Pfc. Roland L. Bragg, a World War II hero who earned the Silver Star and Purple Heart for his exceptional courage during the Battle of the Bulge,” Department of Defense press secretary John Ullyot said in a statement, as Fox News stated.
Established in 1918, the base was initially named after Confederate General Braxton Bragg. In 2023, as part of a broader initiative to remove Confederate-associated names from military installations, it was renamed Fort Liberty. This change was part of a Pentagon effort, motivated by the 2020 George Floyd protests, to rename military installations that had been named after Confederate soldiers.
The recent renaming to Fort Roland L. Bragg reflects a shift in focus toward honoring individuals who have demonstrated exceptional service to the nation. Pfc. Roland L. Bragg served with distinction during World War II, particularly noted for his bravery in the Battle of the Bulge. His actions exemplify the courage and dedication honored by this renaming, as the U.S. Department of Defense said.
The renaming of Fort Bragg is part of a broader reevaluation of military base names across the United States. Several installations previously named after Confederate figures have been redesignated to honor individuals who have made significant contributions to the nation’s military history. This movement reflects an ongoing effort to align military honors with contemporary values and historical perspectives.
The fort was one of nine military bases recommended for renaming by a congressional commission during President Joe Biden’s administration. The effort to remove Confederate names from U.S. military installations became a heated political debate in the final months of Donald Trump’s first term. Although Trump vetoed the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act, which included the renaming initiative, Congress overrode his veto with strong bipartisan support.

]]>According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Learjet 35A, owned by Neil, was arriving from Austin, Texas, when it veered off the runway during landing and collided with a parked Gulfstream 200 business jet. Preliminary reports suggest that the left main landing gear of the Learjet failed upon landing, leading to the deviation from the runway and subsequent collision.
“For reasons unknown at this time, the plane veered from the runway, causing it to collide with another parked plane,” lawyer Worrick Robinson told WSMV 4. “More specific details regarding the collision are not available as this is a rapidly evolving situation and there is an ongoing investigation.”
The Scottsdale Fire Department reported that five individuals were involved in the incident. Tragically, one person was pronounced dead at the scene. Two others sustained critical injuries and were transported to local trauma centers, while another individual was hospitalized in stable condition. The fifth person involved declined medical treatment.
Among the injured were Neil’s girlfriend, Rain Hannah, and her friend Ashley. Both were passengers on the Learjet and suffered non-life-threatening injuries. The pilot of the Learjet was the individual who lost their life in the crash, as People reported.
In a statement released by Neil’s representative, Worrick Robinson IV, it was confirmed that the aircraft was attempting to land when, “for reasons unknown at this time, the plane veered from the runway causing it to collide with another parked plane.” The statement emphasized that Neil was not on board during the incident and extended thoughts and prayers to all affected, expressing gratitude for the efforts of first responders.
Mötley Crüe also addressed the tragedy, stating, “Mr. Neil’s thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved, and he is grateful for the critical aid of all first responders assisting today.”
The FAA has initiated an investigation into the incident to determine the exact cause of the crash. As a result of the collision, the runway at Scottsdale Airport has been closed “until further notice”, according to airport officials, as The Independent reported.
This tragic event adds to a series of recent aviation accidents in the United States, underscoring ongoing concerns about air travel safety. Local authorities have extended their condolences to those affected and are dedicating resources to manage the aftermath of the collision.
The Scottsdale community has been deeply impacted by the incident. Mayor Lisa Borowsky stated, “Today, Scottsdale sadly experienced an aircraft accident at our airport. We offer our deepest condolences to those involved in the accident and for those who have been taken to our trauma center for treatment. We will keep all affected by this tragedy in our prayers,” as The Independent reported.
As the investigation continues, further details are expected to emerge, providing more clarity on the circumstances surrounding this devastating event.

]]>According to a Google spokesperson, the company follows official government sources for name changes and applies regional variations according to longstanding policies.
“People using Maps in the US will see ‘Gulf of America,’ and people in Mexico will see ‘Gulf of Mexico.’ Everyone else will see both names,” hey said in a statement Monday.
According to Google, the change was expected. A spokesman said, it had “a longstanding practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources,” as Business Insider reported.
The renaming has sparked a range of reactions. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded firmly, telling the Associated Press, “he will call it the ‘Gulf of America’ on its continental shelf. For us it is still the Gulf of Mexico and for the entire world it is still the Gulf of Mexico.”
The executive order also reinstated the name “Mount McKinley” for Alaska’s highest peak, previously known as Denali. Google Maps has updated this change as well.
The renaming of international bodies of water presents complexities, as other countries are not legally required to follow suit. The move has caused tensions between the U.S. and Mexico, with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum urging Google to reconsider and emphasizing that such changes legally only apply up to 12 nautical miles from the U.S. coast.
Traditionally, the Board on Geographic Names and the U.S. Geological Survey would promptly update the GNIS, while the Department of State handled changes to the Geographic Names Server for locations outside the U.S. However, each agency and office is responsible for updating their own websites accordingly.
As of now, the international community continues to recognize the body of water as the Gulf of Mexico, highlighting the challenges and debates surrounding geopolitical naming conventions.
