Bill overview
This bill, titled the ‘Remove the Stain Act,’ seeks to rescind all Medals of Honor awarded to soldiers of the U.S. 7th Cavalry for their actions during the Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890. The bill argues that recognizing these soldiers with the nation’s highest military honor is inappropriate given the tragic and controversial nature of the event, which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of unarmed Native Americans, including women and children. It aims to address historical injustices and uphold the integrity of the Medal of Honor award.
