Posted: 03/03/2025 Name: Bob Suchke Message: Today Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth signed a memorandum renaming Fort Moore in Georgia to Fort Benning. The new name pays tribute to Corporal (CPL) Fred G. Benning, who was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his extraordinary heroism in action during World War I with the U.S. Army in France in 1918. This change underscores the installation's storied history of service to the United States of America, honors the warfighter ethos, and recognizes the heroes who have trained at the installation for decades and will continue to train on its storied ranges.

The event is a great way to honor our fallen soldiers. If you would like to participate but are unable to walk, run, or bike up the three miles to Cooper Gap, there is plenty you can do to support the event. Contact USMRA event coordinator, Joey Blacksher, and he will assign you to one of the many needed support roles. Sign up by following this link: www.herohillclimb.com |
