which was referred to the ,committee on 
,armed ,services  ,a ,,bill  ,to require
 the ,secretary of ,defense to change   
the name of any military installation or
 other property under the jurisdiction  

of the ,department of ,defense that is  
currently named after any individual who
 took up arms against the ,united       
,states during the ,american ,civil ,war
 or any individual or entity that       
supported such efforts1 and for other   
purposes4  #a4 ,short title ,this ,act  
may be cited as the ,honoring ,real     
,patriots ,act of #bjbj4  #b4 ,findings 
,the ,congress makes the following      
findings3 7#a7 ,the ,american ,civil    
,war of #ahfa-ahfe was fought over the  
desire of the seceding ,states to keep  
human beings enslaved based upon their  
race4  7#b7 ,the ,confederacy was so    
committed to preserving the institution 
of slavery that it killed more than     
#cfj1jjj ,american soldiers in its      
failed effort to achieve this goal4     
7#c7 ,this act of treason was a direct  
attack on the existence of the ,united  
,states and merits no honor to the      
,confederacy as an institution or its   
leaders as individuals by the ,united   
,states ,armed ,forces4  7#d7           

,nonetheless1 ,united ,states military  
installations and other property under  
the jurisdiction of the ,department of  
,defense1 including ,general ,lee       
,avenue and ,stonewall ,jackson ,drive  
at ,fort ,hamilton1 ,new ,york1 remain  
named after rebels who took up arms     
against the ,united ,states4  7#e7 ,the 
,united ,states ,armed ,forces are      
essential to defending the ,united      
,states and protecting ,american values 
of freedom1 equality1 and democratic    
governance4  7#f7 ,this role is         
undermined when military installations1 
facilities1 roads1 equipment1 and other 
property are named after enemy          
combatants who took up arms during the  
,civil ,war to challenge the very values
 for which the ,united ,states stands4  
7#g7 ,naming military property after    
armed insurrectionists with ,american   
blood on their hands is an affront to   
members of the ,armed ,forces1 many of  
whom are people of color1 who take an   
oath to protect and defend the          

,constitution4  7#h7 ,there are an ample
 number of meritorious members of the   
,armed ,forces1 who loyally served the  
,united ,states1 for whom military      
property could and should be named4  #c4
