An Act honoring as veterans certain persons who served in the National Guard and Reserves

This bill defines "reserve veterans" as individuals who served at least 20 years in the National Guard or Reserves under honorable conditions and establishes their status as veterans within Massachusetts. It requires the state to create an outreach program to ensure these individuals are included in honorary and ceremonial events for veterans. However, the legislation explicitly states that this recognition does not make reserve veterans eligible for any financial benefits or services currently available to other veterans.
