Today, over My Second Cup of Coffee I discuss the "Shock and Denial" that is behind our Nation's inability (from both sides of the aisle) to rescind it's Medals of Honor for the Massacre at Wounded Knee. Why is our nation "unable" to face its own history? It's a symptom of a much deeper wound. I invite you to join me.
Intro:
On September 25th, 2025 the new Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, announced a final decision on the Medals of Honor for Wounded Knee, stating, in a video that those soldiers "deserve those medals" and "their place in our Nation's history is no longer up for debate". I'll share the link and his full statement in a moment.
Today, I explore the "Shock and Denial" that is behind this decision. And why, from "both sides of the aisle," our nation is "unable" to face this history? I believe it's a "symptom of a much deeper wound," and I want to talk about that wound and the best ways to address it. So I invite you to grab a cup of your favorite morning beverage and join me for My Second Cup of Coffee.
