Thanks! It’s a photo from unsplash rather than my personal sign, since I don’t have anywhere in the guest room I rent to display a public sign, but your point is really important that non-spoken language needs to be included as well in order for spaces to be fully inclusive. Thanks for pushing me to do better.
I confess that I find the whole thing with Liberty confounding. There were a number of military bases that we renamed in the past couple of years. (Side note: this is also really confusing when you are a military family and trying to figure out where you are going next. Wait? Where? Huh?) I am not sure I quite understand the rationale behind changing so many post names, but I find it more confusing to focus on Liberty. Maybe because it's so big? Maybe because of its location? Why not change the other names and further erase all the good work that was done? I don't expect you to have answers. I just find this particular thing to be weird.
Your green welcome sign is till missing "signed languages".

I can only imagine the confusion! Also, Fort Liberty is objectively a better name, no disrespect to Private Bragg intended.
Your green 'Welcome" sign is missing something. You need to add signed languages. Deaf people should be welcome too!
