K 1139 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Urging the United States Congress to authorize and direct the issuance of the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal to veterans of the United States Armed Forces who served in Honduras from 1981 through 1992

This legislative bill asks the U.S. Congress to officially authorize the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal for military veterans who served in Honduras between 1981 and 1992. The proposal aims to correct a perceived inconsistency by including these service members in the same recognition program that was previously approved for those who served in El Salvador during the same time period. The bill highlights that many veterans in Honduras faced dangerous conditions and received other military awards, such as Purple Hearts, but were excluded from this specific medal. If passed, the resolution would be sent to federal leaders to urge them to take action on this request for equitable recognition.
