House Resolution No. by Representative Wiley seeks to memorialize the United States Congress to take necessary actions to award the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal to U.S. veterans who served in Honduras from 1981 to 1992. The resolution emphasizes the importance of recognizing military members and veterans who have served in hostile environments, highlighting the significant role U.S. troops played in Honduras during this period. It notes that U.S. military presence not only provided training and support to the Honduran military but also acted as a deterrent to aggression and supported democratic values in the region.

The resolution further acknowledges the dangers faced by U.S. service members in Honduras, including exposure to hostile fire and terrorist activities, which resulted in casualties and injuries among troops. It calls for the recognition of their service and sacrifices by awarding the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, thereby honoring their contributions during a critical time in Central America. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the presiding officers of both the Senate and House of Representatives of the U.S. Congress, as well as to each member of the Louisiana congressional delegation.
