Bill > HCR27

This concurrent resolution urges the United States Congress to issue a formal recognition, specifically an Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal or a similar award for service in a hostile area, to all U.S. troops who were stationed in Honduras between 1981 and 1992. The resolution highlights that these troops maintained a presence in Honduras during this period, providing training and conducting military exercises, which served to deter aggression and support democratic values through civil actions. It emphasizes that these service members were equipped with live ammunition, assisted the Honduran military in training and combat support, and faced hostile fire and imminent danger, with at least one service member receiving a Purple Heart due to terrorist activity and others losing their lives under hazardous circumstances. The resolution also directs the Chief Clerk of the Missouri House of Representatives to send inscribed copies of this resolution to key congressional leaders and Missouri's congressional delegation.
