Bill Summary
Relative to providing veterans’ bonuses to certain regular soldiers who served on active duty in support of the Persian Gulf War. Veterans and Federal Affairs.
AI Summary
This bill seeks to provide a veterans' bonus to certain regular soldiers who served on active duty in support of the Persian Gulf War. The key provision is that all regular soldiers who fought in the Persian Gulf War, but did not receive a bonus at the time, will now be eligible for a bonus equal to the amount that was awarded to National Guard, Air National Guard, or Reservists in the same capacity. This aims to address the fact that non-National Guard, Air National Guard, or Reservist soldiers did not receive a bonus unless they were awarded the Southwest Asia Service Medal during the Persian Gulf War.
