The Army is scrapping Fort Hood. Here’s who it’ll be renamed after
Fox News
Fort Hood's new name commemorates the late war hero Richard Cavazos, a four-star Army general who served with honor, according to three retired Army generals.
"I think that's a wonderful tribute," retired Army Lt. Gen. Robert T. Clark told Fox News. "He would be very humbled at the very idea of that."
Cavazos was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross — the second-highest military honor for valor — for repeatedly returning to the battlefield during the Korean War to rescue injured men despite himself being wounded. He'd already received a Silver Star for his actions earlier in the war.
