1 wanbliPlease help the process of healing by rescinding the medals awarded and removing the battle pennant from the Army flag.
2 Nancy-Jo DillmanThese medals should never have been given in the first place to a bunch of deranged killers!!! The military was at their absolute worst hour at Wounded Knee.A shame and a blight that will never fade from the annals of U.S. military history. They should have been handing out court-martials, not medals!!!

6 GRAYWOLFI can not believe that we would award medals to murderers of innocent women, children and elders. We must demand that this atrocity be rectified!
7 carla kohlerWhen you see the names of the individuals slaughtered at this so called battle, you realize that these were mothers, fathers, sons, daughters and grandchildren and grandparents. Not just a random number of accidental casualties.But families murdered for no other reason but callous greed. I pray for the spirits of these people, that they may have peace.

13 AnonymousThis foul deed nauseates me. It is now time to respect those who suffered and are still suffering from such misdeeds.

15 Association Trencavel (France)We are all related. The hurt of one is the hurt of all!
16 Aurenca (France)As the honor of one is the honor of all! The massacre of innocent elders, women and children is the dishonor of all! Yes, we are all related and the suffering of Native peoples is also our suffering!
17 Walt CopelandAny rational society would not let this stand. Those medals are to come from courage or honor not cowardice and brutality. Those medals shame this country and taint the ones my father recieved in Korea. TAKE THEM BACK!

23 ERIN BROWNEMAY THE PEOPLE FIND HEALING AND SOME REST TO THE HORRIBLE EVENTS THAT STILL CAUSE SO MUCH PAIN TODAY AND MEMORIES. MANY PRAYERS AN BLESSINGS TO THOSE RELAIVES AND ANCESTORS OF THE FALLEN.
24 Tim Huffman (crowwolf)These medals of DIS honor must be recended and their should be no battle pennant on the flag of the US Army, how can the slaughter of unarmed people be called a "battle"? Had it been the other way around it would have been deemed a "massacre". If these medals are allowed to remain, the government may as well give every other cold blooded killer the same medal. There is no difference.
25 MyraI can not imagine how this was ever called a battle, or how any of the solders thought they were in any danger. Tell us where the honor is. PLEASE...resend those medals & destroy the "BATTLE" pennant on the flag of the United States Army.

28 Kimberley CombsI totally agree with this petition! When I first read the book "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee", I sat and cried! As usual the white man trys to destroy what he can't understand! Same with the environment and the creatures of the wild. Rescend the medals given at Wounded Knee. There is no honor there only shame!

33 KevinWhat an utter, sickening disgrace that the MOH would be awarded over the massacre of women, children and old people. this is a terrible insult to all veterans. Rescind them now!
34 Susan rasmussen
35 Alexandra WesawStrongly AGREE!
36 Rhonda Lomahaptewa
37 Justin BellHow long will the genocide against Natives go on? I don't understand how the United States can get away with its genocidal policies against Indigenous people, while the precious constitution protects everyone else. An Injustice To One Is An Injustice To All!!!!!!!!
38 Debra Lippitt
39 Aurelie Decamps (France)The genocide of Native Americans has lasted more than 500 years, culmultating at Wounded Knee. Please put an end to horrible injustice.
40 Lee WardI stand behind this petition 110%, what took place is nothing short of shameful, innocent woman and children were hunted like animals and their men left defenceless and weaponless .. how can anyone see "Honor" in such a grave act of vengeance? there must be a stripping down of all medals and a formal public apology from the United States Government. Lee Ward Aka Butterfly Tigeress
41 Kristen Anne FoltzPlease help us to regain what is ours!! WE are peaceful people and we do not force those to be what they don't want to be! Miigwetch!
42 Kristen RieferI know how brutal things can be! The innocent slaying of people that where just minding their own business and they come onto your land and Kill you because they have no feelings about what our eyes and hearts have seen! Please know that from my heart I cry and the reason is I look to the sky for I can feel my people still screaming! SHALOM and Chaya!
43 LarryIt is quite clearly beyond just a Misunderstanding of Military protocol, to be Honored for the deaths of those present that day. I clearly Understand this: These Medals surely must be Rescinded.
