Breitbart: Rep. Riley Moore Proposes Creating Medal For Servicemembers Protecting Border

Rep. Riley Moore (R-WV) wants the servicemen and women who’ve labored through the border crisis and subsequent turnaround during President Donald Trump’s second term to receive proper recognition.

The freshman congressman introduced the Faithful Patriot Campaign Medal Act on Friday, Breitbart News learned exclusively. The new legislation requires the Secretary of Defense to design and award a new medal to members of the armed forces who have served on the Southern Border since 2018.

Moore traveled to Arizona in March with a group of congressmen to tour the Southern Border and meet with officials on the ground. While there, he had a chance meeting with several members of the West Virginia National Guard who were deployed to that sector.
