What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Giving Reservists A Valiant Eternity Act" or the "GRAVE Act," aims to amend title 38 of the United States Code. The primary purpose is to expand eligibility for a headstone or grave marker administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. It specifically targets certain members of a Reserve of an Armed Force. The change applies to those who are not considered veterans strictly because they did not meet minimum active-duty service requirements.
