What I would like to know, is my graduation from Fort Rucker, 23 March 1979, invalid, now that it is Fort Novosel? The thousands of Aviators who proudly graduated from Fort Rucker will their achievement(s) be changed in official Army records, from Fort Rucker to Fort Novosel? And, would anyone on this thread be aware that former Tuskegee Airmen taught at Fort Rucker? I wonder how they felt about the name of the fort named for Confederate Colonel Edmund Winchester Rucker they served upon.

Cannot erase history, somebody will remember, correctly.

Some interesting details here-
