What this bill would do

This act directs the American Battle Monuments Commission to create the "Fallen Servicemembers Religious Heritage Restoration Program." The program's goal is to identify American-Jewish servicemembers buried in overseas United States military cemeteries who are currently marked with incorrect religious representations. The Commission will seek contracts with nonprofit organizations to carry out this identification and contact the descendants of these members. This program is intended to run for the first five fiscal years following the act's enactment. Additionally, the bill amends title 38 of the United States Code to extend certain limits on pension payments.
