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 award an Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal or a similar honor to these service members in acknowledgment of their contributions and sacrifices in a hostile environment. The Ohio General Assembly expresses its commitment to recognizing the valor of military personnel and aims to ensure that those who served in Honduras receive the recognition they deserve. The resolution also mandates that copies be sent to key congressional leaders and Ohio's media outlets to raise awareness of this initiative.
