Yes

Level 78

Bragg has been renamed Liberty.

Level ∞

Oct 17, 2023

I need to leave it as Bragg since that's how people know it. Nowhere does the quiz say that these are current forts or names.

Level 71

Dec 4, 2023

There's also more than one Fort Bragg.

Level 84

Oct 17, 2023

Bragg is now Liberty.

Tucson is not "near" the Mexican border. It's 70+ miles away.

Jenny?

Maybe Boulder Dam should be accepted. That's what is called in 1936. It became Hoover Dam officially in 1947.
