Cancel Culture going too far--Trying to Erase our History

Lawmakers Push To Take Medals From Fallen American Soldiers

Just how much more of this cancel culture do we need to take?

Representatives propose to revoke Medals of Honor given to American soldiers who took part in the infamous 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre, which claimed the lives of 250 Native Americans, chiefly women and children.

As an addition to the fiscal 2023 military policy law, legislation was passed last week to take back the medals, which are the country's highest decoration for bravery. Similar attempts have been made in the past, but during compromises between the House and Senate versions of the law, they were finally abandoned.

Twenty members of the 7th U.S. Calvary Regiment received Medals of Honor for their participation in the Dec. 29, 1890 massacre on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, close to Wounded Knee Creek.

And Democrats want to take their medals away from an event of 132 years ago for an act that was done by the United States Military. Yes, it was a horrible massacre. A lot of the Lakota's guns had been taken away and they could not defend themselves. So, watch out Patriots, the current administration wants your guns too!

Read about these sanctimonious Congressmen History is history; leave it alone.

A Proud Moment


Just moments ago, President Obama awarded Staff Sgt. Clinton Romesha the medal of Honor. It was a moving moment for his actions in 2009 when he and his team of 53 American soldiers faced an attack from hundreds of members of the Taliban at their outpost in the mountains of Afghanistan near the Pakistan border.

  • While in Afghanistan and a day long attack, he took out an enemy machine gun team
  • He and his team were out-numbered 6 to 1.
  •  He was wounded trying to take out a second enemy machine gun team.
  • Even though he was injured, he led a 5 member team into more combat and later retrieved the bodies of fallen comrades
  • He is the fourth living person to receive the medal of honor for Iraq and Afghanistan.
