Subject: Final Opportunity to Rescind Wounded Knee Medals of Honor
 

Dear President Biden,
 

As your administration concludes its historic term, I am writing to respectfully urge you to take a decisive and compassionate action that has been generations in the making: rescinding the Medals of Honor awarded for actions during the Wounded Knee Massacre of 1890.
 

The massacre claimed hundreds of the lives of unarmed Lakota men, women, and children—an atrocity that stands as one of the most tragic events in U.S. history. Awarding Medals of Honor for such actions dishonors the true purpose of this prestigious recognition and continues to cause deep pain for the descendants of those who died.
 

Descendants and advocates have worked tirelessly for decades to address this injustice. They deserve closure, and our nation deserves the opportunity to correct this historical wrong. Rescinding these medals would send a powerful message that we are willing to confront our past and honor the values of justice, equality, and human rights.
 

This is a generational effort, and we are at a pivotal moment. Please, do not let this issue carry into yet another administration. Let this be the moment when America takes a step toward healing and reconciliation.
 

Thank you for your leadership and attention to this vital matter.
 

Sincerely,

[Your Full Name]
