2 WHEREAS, U.S. troops who served in Honduras from 1981 to 

31992 earned 47 Purple Hearts, 2 POW Medals, and 4 Air Medals; 

4and

5 WHEREAS, U.S. troops served as advisors to the Honduran 

6military and provided training and other exercises to 

7strengthen the Honduran military to resist and deter 

8Nicaraguan aggression; and

9 WHEREAS, Despite these feats, President Clinton and 

10Congress awarded the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal in 1996 

11to veterans who served in El Salvador from 1981 to 1992, but 

12they did not award the same honors to the veterans who served 

13in Honduras; and

14 WHEREAS, The efforts of these veterans should not remain 

15undervalued, as their efforts and sacrifices were as crucial 

16to preventing the spread of communism in Central America as 

17those in El Salvador; and

18 WHEREAS, The service of the veterans in Honduras is 

19certainly befitting of an Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, as 

20U.S. troops were injured and some lost their lives due to 

21terrorist activity and otherwise hazardous events that
