The House Resolution calls on the United States Congress to recognize the service of all U.S. troops who were stationed in Honduras from 1981 to 1992. It emphasizes the importance of acknowledging military members and veterans who have served in hostile environments, highlighting that U.S. troops were involved in training and military exercises with the Honduran military during this period. The resolution notes that these troops faced hostile fire, experienced imminent danger, and some even lost their lives due to terrorist activities and other hazardous conditions.

In light of these circumstances, the resolution advocates for the issuance of an Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal or a similar form of recognition for the service of these troops. It underscores the significant role that U.S. military presence played in deterring aggression in the region and promoting democratic values. The resolution also mandates that copies be sent to key congressional leaders and members of the Iowa congressional delegation to garner support for this recognition effort.
