Bill > HR103

This resolution, passed by the House of Representatives, calls upon the United States Congress to support efforts to recognize all U.S. troops who served in Honduras between 1981 and 1992, a period when U.S. military presence there was significant for regional stability, including deterring Nicaraguan aggression and supporting democratic values through civil actions. The resolution highlights that these troops were equipped with live ammunition, assisted the Honduran military, and experienced hostile fire and imminent danger, with at least one service member receiving a Purple Heart for injuries from terrorist activity and others losing their lives due to hazardous circumstances. Therefore, the House urges Congress to support the issuance of an Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, or a similar award for service in a hostile environment, to these service members.
