In 1948, the U.S. military was desegregated. What led up to that and what has changed since was the topic of a Veterans Day panel focused on Black military service.
The Naming Commission formed to remove references to the Confederacy from the military recommended getting rid of a Confederate monument at Arlington National Cemetery.
More than 1,100 Defense Department assets have been identified as honoring the Confederacy and it could cost roughly $62.5 million to rename all of them, according to the commission tasked with examining the issue.
The 108-year-old monument should be stripped and removed down to its granite base plate, the commission will tell Congress in a forthcoming report on its recommendations.
A congressionally established commission is likely to recommend the removal, sources say.
