With the official Fort Bragg redesignation ceremony happening Friday, the granddaughters of World War II veteran Roland L. Bragg are sharing their excitement for this momentous occasion.

"I'm hopeful they will learn a little about our granddad and be really proud that with the renaming, that it's named after someone who led a good life," said Rebecca Amirpour, granddaughter of Pfc. Roland L. Bragg.

According to Amirpour and her sister Jennifer Bell, several family members have traveled to North Carolina to witness the redesignation ceremony. Their grandfather has been gone for 23 years, but they are honored to represent him in this way.
