Congressman Robert Aderholt has announced his support for the Border Operations Service Medal Act, known as H.R. 3780. This bill aims to recognize military and National Guard personnel involved in border operations starting from January 1, 2025.
Aderholt emphasized the challenging conditions faced by those serving at the southern border. “Our men and women serving on the front lines of the southern border operate under challenging and often dangerous conditions to protect Americans from violent threats,” he stated. He also expressed full support for Congressman Tim Moore’s initiative to honor these service members with a medal.
The proposed legislation, introduced by Congressman Tim Moore, seeks to issue a Border Operations Service Medal to acknowledge efforts against threats such as human trafficking, terrorism, and illegal entries. Aderholt remarked, “The Border Operations Service Medal Act protects the Americans from border threats such as human trafficking, terrorism, and mass illegal entries.”
In addition to Aderholt, several other representatives have co-sponsored this legislation. They include Rep. Derrick Van Orden, Rep. John McGuire, Rep. Abe Hamadeh, Rep. Jack Bergman, Rep. Tom Barrett, Rep. Ralph Norman, Rep. Juan Ciscomani, Rep. Hal Rogers, Rep. Don Davis, and Rep. Chuck Edwards.
