Illinois House Resolution 868 urges the U.S. Congress to award the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal to U.S. veterans who served in Honduras from 1981 to 1992. These veterans provided training and support to the Honduran military to counter Nicaraguan aggression, earning numerous military honors. Despite their service, they did not receive the same recognition as veterans who served in El Salvador during the same period. The resolution highlights the importance of recognizing their contributions to preventing the spread of communism in Central America.
