Congressman Robert Aderholt's Co-Sponsors Border Operations Service Medal Act

June 10, 2025 - WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04) today issued the following statement in support of the H.R. 3780, the Border Operations Service Medal Act:

"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," said Aderholt. "The Border Operations Service Medal Act is a long-overdue honor to the U.S. service members and federal personnel who not only enforce our laws but also help secure our communities. I fully support Congressman Tim Moore's effort to ensure they receive the recognition they have earned."

The bill introduced by Congressman Tim Moore issues a Border Operations Service Medal to military and National Guard personnel who served in designated border operations beginning January 1, 2025.

"The Border Operations Service Medal Act protects the Americans from border threats such as human trafficking, terrorism, and mass illegal entries," Aderholt added. "This legislation ensures those who have served receive the honor and recognition they deserve."

Original cosponsors for this legislation alongside Rep. Robert Aderholt 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.
