U.S. Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Amarillo) introduced a piece of legislation this week aimed at protecting military decorations and Medals of Honor.
Jackson’s Stop Cancel Culture From Degrading Honor Act would make Medals of Honor or other military decorations permanent after ten years have passed, with a limited number of exceptions. Jackson says his bill came after Democrats sought to strip certain Medals of Honor that were awarded in the 1800s.
“I came to Congress to continue a career of service to my country and to stand up for the values I learned growing up in West Texas,” Jackson said. “I, and many constituents of TX-13, have had enough of cancel culture and its intent to destroy anyone who does not agree with Democrats’ radical, woke agenda. My bill is straightforward and will prevent people like Elizabeth Warren and AOC from looking back one hundred years or more to rewrite the history books. Military men and women who valiantly fought for our country should be off the table, and if we don’t fight back on this there is no telling what is next.”
Original cosponsors of this legislation include Representatives Randy Weber (TX-14), Pat Fallon (TX-04), Ralph Norman (SC-05), Yvette Herrell (NM-02), Scott DesJarlais (TN-04), Barry Moore (AL-02), Brian Mast (FL-18), Louie Gohmert (TX-01), Matt Rosendale (MT-AL), Chip Roy (TX-21), and Matt Gaetz (FL-01).
