I went back, starting on Page 1, to Page 17 where the Nov. 1, 2021 listing for Charles Calvin Rogers should be. It's missing there, too. No rhyme or reason why. In those 17 pages I looked at, there were 8 black recipients listed and several hispanic and asian recipients. I guess maybe you could consider some of those "DEI" medals because some were awarded after an investigation in the '90s when it was determined that some worthy people had been denied the Medal of Honor because of racism, and medals were awarded at that point by President Clinton. But Rogers was presented the medal by Nixon, long before that. In no way was it "DEI."
It's just like a lot of other actions by DOGE. Dumb and unfathomable.
The very first "Medal of Honor Monday" listed is Army Pvt. Barney Hajiro, a Japanese-American, on Oct. 22, 2018.
