I come from a military family. What he has done to The Invictus Games is shocking and disgraceful. The final straw for me was watching Meghan walk in front of the veterans last time with zero respect. He needs to go.
Crystal supported: Remove Prince Harry from Invictus GamesI am the daughter of a USA Army veteran who was captured by the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes during WWII. He was marched to at least six different stallogs, from Poland to Germany, after his capture. Once, he was told to load food boxes onto trucks being sent from the American Red Cross to feed the prisoners, which were then driven to rhe front line German troops while he, himself, was also starving. A buddy of his was shot dead for trying to hide some food in his pocket while loading the boxes. My father barely survived and seldom discussed his experiences after the war. He got a college degree & a wonderful job after the war, but no help from anyone with his trauma. He went back to school and earned his master's degree, but couldn't continue anymore. He just stopped working in his late forties, and my mother went back to work to support our family. Had he had something like Invictus to help him focus on through his grief and trauma that could have also alleviated his pain, he might have been able to walk me down the aisle at my wedding. He survived until he was 53, when he gave up and died in our home, three months before I got married.
I have been heartbroken for the lack of respect shown to the servicemen participating in the Invictus Games. They are heroes and are not being shown the respect they deserve for their service, due to all the negative turmoil constantly stirred up by the antics of the Sussex couple.

Phyllis supported: Remove Prince Harry from Invictus GamesAs a Gulf War veteran I was mortified when Harry let his wife march in front all the British veterans while wearing hot pants and flip flops when the team was entering with their flag during the games in Germany. This is just never done and was so disrespectful to the men she was marching with. I am very liberal and open to dissent so I am pretty tolerate of alot of things but for some reason this really hit a nerve. I sent the Invictus Foundation an email explaining this and offered to verify my service if needed. Never heard back from them and Harry's wife never apologized for her abhorrent behavior. All Harry does in whine about his need for taxpayer security. He put others at risk like the soldier body guards that accompanied him when he demanded to go to Afghanistan. Maybe find a veteran that honors the flag and puts others above self to lead Invictus.
Molly supported: Remove Prince Harry from Invictus GamesThe veterans in the Invictis games should be celebrated and honored. My husband was in the Army, and my father in law and grandfather both were in WWII. These people are brave and served our countries to keep us all safe, and free. Having someone use these heroes for selfish gain is WRONG!!!.
Traci supported: Remove Prince Harry from Invictus GamesThe decision to exclude Master Sergeant John Chapman’s story from the Medal of Honor Museum’s full exhibit is not only a glaring and inexcusable oversight—it is a disheartening betrayal of the very principles the museum professes to uphold. I knew John personally; he was not just a teammate but also one of the kindest, most thoughtful, and most professional Airmen I have ever met. His courageous actions during the Battle of Takur Ghar in 2002, for which he posthumously received the Medal of Honor, are already a matter of historical record and visual proof. To think that these indisputable acts of heroism have been buried—allegedly at the hands of the SEAL community and DEVGRU—is both shocking and shameful.
Moreover, it is unacceptable that a member of your board of directors, who led that mission and was part of the cover-up, now possesses the power to decide whether John’s story is included in the museum. This clear conflict of interest is not merely unethical; it is outright cowardly. Allowing personal biases to shape an institution meant to honor America’s bravest casts a dark shadow on the museum’s credibility.
John is the first U.S. Air Force Medal of Honor recipient in more than fifty years, and the fact that his actions are documented on video makes his story truly historic. By refusing to fully integrate his heroism into the exhibit, you are doing a great disservice not just to John’s memory, but to every service member who looks to the Medal of Honor as a symbol of valor, sacrifice, and integrity. The Air Force community will not rest until this grave mistake is corrected and his rightful place among our nation’s greatest heroes is acknowledged.
If the Medal of Honor Museum truly aspires to honor those who exemplify courage and sacrifice, it must act swiftly and decisively to rectify this omission. Failing to do so will only bring lasting harm to the museum’s reputation and mission. John Chapman’s story deserves to be told, without bias or interference—and it is your solemn responsibility to ensure that no cover-up or personal agenda stands in the way of honoring his extraordinary legacy. The world is watching, and we demand that you do the right thing. We WILL NOT rest until this is rectified. WE WILL NOT leave a man or the memory of him behind, on the battlefield!! Will YOU?
SHAUN supported: Demand for John Chapman's full exhibit in the National Medal of Honor MuseumMSgt. Chapman should not be left behind again to be recognized for his Heroic valor years later. He should be one of the initial 200 exhibits for the initial rollout. He was left behind by teammates once, why are you willing to do the same?
Anthony supported: Demand for John Chapman's full exhibit in the National Medal of Honor MuseumI have closely followed this story through various sources and as an Army combat veteran who served in Afghanistan from 2006-2007, I feel compelled to share my perspective. For many of us in the regular Army, the special forces community represents the pinnacle of honor and integrity. This incident, however, has deeply disturbed me and, in my view, tarnished the reputation of the SEAL community. The actions of Slabinski and the Medal of Honor organization in attempting to undermine and discredit John Chapman and his family are both appalling and disheartening.
If the Medal of Honor organization wishes to preserve its standing as a symbol of integrity and respect, it must honor its commitments. Specifically, it should fulfill the promise made to Chapman’s family to highlight his remarkable accomplishments. Upholding this standard is essential not only for the Chapmans but also for maintaining the credibility and honor of the organization itself.
