Honoring Our Heroes Act of 2024
This bill establishes a two-year pilot program allowing the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide headstones or burial markers to families of veterans who died on or before November 1, 1990, upon request. It requires applicants to submit applications through the VA, with the agency updating its website to clarify eligibility during the program. The pilot specifically covers veterans defined under existing law (Title 38, U.S. Code) who did not previously receive a marker. The program terminates two years after the bill's enactment, aiming to address historical gaps in commemoration for this specific group.
