The 136th General Assembly of Ohio has passed a concurrent resolution urging Congress to recognize U.S. troops who served in Honduras from 1981 to 1992. The resolution highlights the significant role these military members played during their deployment, which included training and supporting the Honduran military, as well as engaging in civil actions that promoted democratic values. It emphasizes that U.S. troops faced hostile conditions, experienced imminent danger, and some even lost their lives or were injured due to terrorist activities during their service.

The resolution calls for Congress to issue an Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal or a similar form of recognition for the service of these troops in a hostile environment. It reflects the General Assembly's commitment to honoring military members and veterans who have served in challenging circumstances and seeks to ensure that the sacrifices made by those who served in Honduras are formally acknowledged. The resolution also mandates that copies be sent to key congressional leaders and Ohio's congressional delegation to advocate for this recognition.
