Poll: WOUNDED KNEE MEDALSA national debate has reignited over whether Medals of Honor awarded to U.S. soldiers involved in the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre should be revoked. U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth recently stated he will not support revoking the medals, calling the event a “battle” rather than a massacre. Some lawmakers and South Dakota church leaders have called for the honors to be rescinded, saying they glorify violence against unarmed people, while others argue they should remain part of the historical record.
