Maddy summaryThis legislative bill asks the U.S. Congress to officially authorize the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal for military veterans who served in Honduras between 1981 and 1992.

The bill highlights that many veterans in Honduras faced dangerous conditions and received other military awards, such as Purple Hearts, but were excluded from this specific medal. If passed, the resolution would be sent to federal leaders to urge them to take action on this request for equitable recognition.
