Virginia’s Fort A.P. Hill was officially redesignated Fort Walker on Friday morning during a ceremony on base, which took place on the eve of Women’s Equality Day.

According to the media advisory from the Joint Task Force-National Capital Region and U.S. Army Military District of Washington, Fort Walker was renamed in honor of Dr. Mary E. Walker, who treated wounded Union soldiers at field hospitals throughout the Civil War.
