OUR MISSION:
Congressional Commission providing naming, renaming, and removal recommendations to Congress for all Department of Defense items that commemorate the Confederate States of America or any person who served voluntarily with the Confederate States of America.
The Naming Commission has the important role of recommending names that exemplify our U.S. military and national values. Through numerous community engagements and thousands of direct submissions via our website, we gained tremendous feedback and insight to help ensure the best names are recommended to Congress.
