This petition is to rescind the 20 Medals of Honor given to the U.S. 7th Calvary for their slaughter of approximately 300 Lakota men, women and children (including babies) at Wounded Knee on December 29, 1890.
The recipients of this massacre tarnish the meaning of the Medal of Honor and what it stands for all other recipients as there is no honor in using Howitzers and rifles to murder old women and children or in letting 2 year old babies freeze to death at the side of their murdered mother. 20 soldiers involved in the Wounded Knee massacre were awarded a Medal of Honor.
It is difficult for this country to recognize what it has done to its indigenous population. It is time to start that recognization and in so doing a time of healing (and learning) can begin.
