Bill Summary

Guard Units And Reservists Deserve Remembrance Act

AI Summary

This bill, titled the Guard Units And Reservists Deserve Remembrance Act, amends existing law to allow the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to make memorial headstones and markers available for purchase for members of reserve components, including the National Guard and Reserves, who have completed at least six years of inactive duty training or active duty for training but did not serve on full active duty. These headstones or markers can be purchased for the grave of such individuals or to commemorate them if their remains are unavailable, provided they are not otherwise disqualified due to their separation from the Armed Forces. The bill specifies that the purchase price will be set to cover production and delivery costs, and clarifies that this provision does not grant any new burial benefits or the right to be buried in a national cemetery. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs will coordinate with the Secretary of Defense to establish procedures for identifying eligible individuals.
