Cristobal Cavazos in dailyherald: Changing 'Fort Hood' to 'Fort Cavazos' must go deeper than the name.
The May 9 renaming of Fort Hood, dropping its old Confederate name in favor of Fort Cavazos in honor of the first Latino four-star and highly decorated Army Gen. Richard Cavazos, is indeed a symbolic victory. It needs to be more than that.
"We are proud to be renaming Fort Hood as Fort Cavazos in recognition of an outstanding American hero, a veteran of the Korea and Vietnam wars and the first Hispanic to reach the rank of four-star general in our Army," Lt. Gen. Sean Bernabe, commanding general of the III Armored Corps and Fort Hood said in a prepared statement.
