We are seeking to uphold the integrity of the Medal of Honor by rescinding those awarded for actions during the Wounded Knee Massacre, recognizing that these medals were granted for participation in a tragic event involving the massacre of unarmed Native Americans. Our goal is to ensure that this highest military honor reflects true valor and ethical service.

If bravery means killing unarmed women and children, count me out of that honor club.

Maybe rescinding isn’t about blaming the past, but about cleaning house for a more honest future.

Rescinding these medals isn’t rewriting history; it’s respecting the truth that’s been buried too long.

Correcting history’s wrongs is messy, but leaving these Medals of Honor intact is a scar we can’t ignore.

You can’t honor heroism and atrocities on the same medal; it’s time to draw that line clearly.

Rescinding medals awarded by our ancestors feels like turning our backs on American soldiers’ sacrifice.
