Maj. Gen. Trevor J. Brendenkamp, Commanding General of Joint Task Force-National Capital Region and U.S. Army Military District of Washington, led a ceremony at the U.S. Army’s Fort A.P. Hill, Va., to redesignate the installation as Fort Walker, in honor of the Civil War-era Medal of Honor recipient Dr. Mary E. Walker, Aug. 25, 2023.
