Fort Liberty

American Tattoo Society, a family-owned business, opened Fort Liberty’s first tattoo shop.

Over 80 years ago, Walter Morris created the 555th Airborne Platoon, also known as the “Triple Nickles.” There is an exhibit about them at a museum on Fort Liberty - formerly known as Fort Bragg. There’s another exhibit at a Fayetteville Museum that will soon serve as one of 50 markers on the North Carolina Civil Rights Trail.

Wednesday is the deadline for veterans to start the process of getting the first year of benefits for being exposed to toxic burn pits during their deployments.

President Joe Biden was in North Carolina Friday, making stops in Rocky Mount and at the newly-named Fort Liberty in Fayetteville.

Biden is to use a visit to the recently renamed Fort Liberty in North Carolina to highlight the order. The order directs agencies to develop a federal government-wide plan on hiring and job retention for military spouses, bolster child care options, and take more than a dozen additional actions.

A newly constructed historic march route will remember the base's former name and the soldiers who served there.
