SC H5262

South Carolina House Resolution urges Congress to issue an Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, or similar recognition, to all U.S. troops who served in Honduras from 1981 to 1992

U.S. military presence in Honduras during this period included training, combat support, and military exercises, serving as a deterrent to regional aggression and supporting democratic values

Service members experienced hostile fire and imminent danger, with at least one Purple Heart awarded due to terrorist activity and lives lost from terrorist activity and hazardous circumstances

Resolution directs that copies be sent to majority and minority leaders of both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, as well as all South Carolina members of Congress
