Posts - Bill - HR 3609 Remove the Stain Act
house 05/23/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to rescind the Medals of Honor awarded for the actions at Wounded Knee Creek in 1890 because those awards recognize participation in a massacre of unarmed Native Americans, which conflicts with the values the Medal of Honor is meant to represent. This legislation aims to preserve the integrity of the Medal by ensuring it honors only truly distinguished acts of bravery.

Honoring massacres is not patriotism, it’s a stain; this bill cleans it off with overdue honesty.

Rescinding these medals is a small step toward righting the colonial wrongs we refuse to forget.

Tearing down medals awarded to soldiers is a slap in the face to everything military service stands for.

Finally, some accountability over a massacre disguised as valor—justice delayed is not justice denied.

Rescinding these medals might turn some heads, but maybe it’s time we face the full picture, not just the medals.

Recognizing history’s darker chapters isn’t weakness, it’s wisdom in action.

If we start rescinding medals because of hindsight, where do we draw the line? War is war, no heroes there are perfect.

Rewriting history with the soft touch of political correctness won’t change the past—it just dishonors our troops.
