On July 24, 2020, the U.S. Senate overwhelmingly passed (86 to 14 in favor) Senate Bill S.4049, their version of the annual National Defense Authorization Act, which includes a provision that all 10 Army bases named after prominent Confederate military leaders be renamed. On this issue, Mulroy said, American soldiers should serve on bases that are named after the heroes that have sacrificed and fought for our country, not against it and suggested that they should be renamed after Medal of Honor recipients instead.
