Bill information
Summary
To amend title 38, United States Code, to expand eligibility for entitlement to a headstone or grave marker under the laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to certain members of a Reserve of an Armed Force, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill would expand who can receive a government-provided headstone or grave marker through the Veterans Affairs Department. Currently, only certain veterans and active-duty service members qualify for these markers. The bill would add some members of the Armed Forces Reserves to that list. A headstone or grave marker is a stone monument placed at a burial site to identify the deceased. The bill was recently introduced in Congress and is in the early stage of the legislative process.
