Bill > S1127

This bill amends existing veterans' memorial benefits law to expand eligibility for free memorial headstones and markers provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Specifically, the bill removes language that previously limited these memorial markers to veterans and service members who died on or after November 11, 1998. By removing this date restriction, the bill will now allow families of veterans and service members who died before November 11, 1998, to receive memorial headstones and markers from the VA. The bill is named after Dennis and Lois Krisfalusy, though the specific significance of their names is not explained in the provided text. This change will effectively broaden the VA's memorial marker program to recognize and honor the service of veterans who died prior to the original 1998 cutoff date.
