In 2009 the Huntsville City Council had approved a name change of the airport from Huntsville Municipal Airport to the current name, Bruce Brothers Huntsville Regional Airport.[3] On May 28, 2010, the airport was rededicated in honor of two World War II veterans, Harry Joe Bruce and Reeves "Jeep" Bruce, who died during the course of that war.[4] The ribbon cutting was scheduled to be held on that day.[5]
