BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) – Lawmakers might soon strip some U.S. soldiers from the nineteenth century of the nation’s highest military award.
Earlier this month, the House of Representatives passed a defense bill that included an amendment to revoke the Medal of Honor from some 20 soldiers who took part in the massacre near Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota in 1890. Mandan-Hidatsa-Arikara Nation Chairman Mark Fox says he’s happy with those who advanced the legislation.
