Dwight Mears is a researcher, military awards writer, retired Army Major, lawyer and librarian.  He recently published a proposal on how the military could re-evaluate the Medals of Honor issued after Wounded Knee in 1890 as the Lakota Nation has advocated and various members of Congress have supported in "Remove the Stain" proposed legislation for years.  Mears explains to host Jim Fausone that  panel of historians could review in context and make recommendations.

Wounded Knee Medals of Honor Revisited with Dwight Mears

Dwight Mears discusses the Medal of Honor.  But all Medals of Honor are not created equal. The medal has in fact consisted of several distinct decorations at various times and has involved a number of competing statutes and policies that rewarded different types of heroism. The Medal of Honor has had different qualification thresholds at different times, and indeed three separate versions—one for the army and two for the navy—existed contemporaneously between World Wars I and II. Mears talks about the MOH and its relevancy today with host Jim Fausone.
