3608 michelle bernabeithis was a massacre. . . nothing more need be said really, but the means by which the killings were carried out should be enough to rescind those medals. Killing women and children is not honorable

3614 Cindy WaddenI believe in what is being asked of the US government that the medals be rescinded and that the Battle Pennant on the Flag of the United States Army be removed and something more politically correct be put in its place.

3620 Andrew AssiniI’ve been to the Wounded Knee Museum, taken a course on the Dawes Act, just finished watching the HBO rendition of Dee Brown’s book, and have long been frustrated by the treatment the Native peoples on the Great Plains received. I was fed the rhetoric of the greatness of America and its ideology, and despite studying its many shortcomings, am still today a patriot. In this case, our nation’s actions do not match our supposed benevolent ideology-as in many- and it should be simple for 21st century Americans to at least acknowledge our failure at Wounded Knee with some ink and military ceremony. Real change is more difficult, but this should at least be possible. Sadly, I wonder how many would still call it revisionist, anti-American, or ‘liberal’ bias to support this petition? For a nation a based on law and justice, we didn’t live up to it. I personally also believe, “A society is judged by how it treats its weakest members” and once the powerful tribes of the Great Plains had been crippled we broke treaty after treaty and failed to fulfill the promises we made in even our idealistic actions like the Dawes Act. This petition simply is calling for medals awarded for a MASSACRE to be rescinded. A simple overview of the facts, and especially a deeper understanding of the history of unjust actions that led up to Wounded Knee, should lead any self-conscious individual to realize that is only a small step, but one that must be taken, if we are to even pretend to be a shell of the kind of nation our rhetoric claims us to be.

3646 John ViacrucisThe fact that they were awarded the Medal of Honor for killing unarmed Indians, shocks and disgusts me.

3648 Gregory RichardI agree with this petition. I ask that Medals of DIS Honor awarded to the members of the 7th Calvary of the United States Army for the murder of innocent women children and men on that terrible December morning be rescinded. And that the Battle Pennant on the Flag of the United States Army be removed and destroyed
3649 Neil Pelkey "Stonehawk"I definitely agree that the Battle Pennant of the Flag of the U.S. Army be removed and destroyed and also rescind the Medals of Honor from those members of the 7th Calvary that committed such a heinous crime in revenge of the Battle of the Big Horn.
