Mark Our Place Act
The Mark Our Place Act allows the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide or replace a headstone, marker, or medallion at the grave of any Medal of Honor recipient, regardless of when they served in the military. It removes a previous restriction requiring the recipient’s service dates to fall within specific time periods. This change expands eligibility for government-furnished grave markers to all Medal of Honor recipients, including those whose service ended long ago. The bill directly affects Medal of Honor recipients and their families by ensuring access to this symbolic honor without time-based limitations.
