This bill, known as the "Remove the Stain Act," proposes to rescind all Medals of Honor that were awarded for actions at Wounded Knee Creek on December 29, 1890. The legislation asserts that these awards, given for what Congress identifies as a massacre of unarmed Native Americans, diminish the integrity of the nation's highest military decoration and are a disservice to the United States. It mandates the removal of the names of these recipients from the official Army, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard Medal of Honor Rolls, while clarifying that individuals are not required to return the physical medals and that this rescission will not result in the denial of any federal benefits to those affected. The bill's findings detail that the Wounded Knee engagement resulted in the tragic death and injury of approximately 350-375 Indian men, women, and children, with many U.S. troop casualties attributed to friendly fire. It highlights that Native American tribes and organizations have long requested the revocation of these medals, emphasizing that their continued recognition impinges on the integrity of the award and those who have genuinely earned it.
