Pentagon Removes Medal of Honor Webpage for Black Vietnam War Hero

The Department of Defense's removal of Charles Calvin Rogers' webpage has raised concerns about erasure of Black military history amid broader DEI rollbacks.

The Department of Defense has removed a webpage honoring Charles Calvin Rogers, a Black Army general and Medal of Honor recipient, redirecting visitors to a '404 - Page Not Found' error.
The URL for the page was altered to include 'dei,' sparking speculation about political motives tied to ongoing federal DEI policy reversals under Donald Trump's administration.
Rogers, awarded the Medal of Honor in 1970 for his leadership and bravery during the Vietnam War, was the highest-ranking Black soldier to receive the honor.
The removal is part of a larger review of DEI-related content across federal agencies, which has flagged thousands of historical military images and articles for deletion.
The Pentagon has not confirmed whether the webpage will be reinstated, as criticism mounts over what some see as the erasure of Black military achievements.
