Pentagon Restores Medal of Honor Page for Black Vietnam War Hero

The Department of Defense reinstated the webpage for Maj. Gen. Charles Calvin Rogers after public backlash over its removal and controversial URL change.

The Pentagon removed and later restored the webpage honoring Maj. Gen. Charles Calvin Rogers, a Black Vietnam War hero and Medal of Honor recipient.
The page had been inaccessible, with its URL altered to include 'DEI,' a term associated with diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, sparking public criticism.
Maj. Gen. Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in 1970 for his bravery during a two-day battle in Vietnam, where he was wounded three times while leading counterattacks.
The removal occurred during a broader review of federal DEI-related content under an executive order by President Trump aimed at rolling back such initiatives.
The Department of Defense attributed the removal to an 'auto removal process' and confirmed the page's restoration with its original URL.
