Giving Reservists A Valiant Eternity Act

This bill expands eligibility for Veterans Affairs (VA) headstones or grave markers to include reservists who do not qualify as veterans due to not meeting the minimum active-duty service requirements under federal law. Specifically, it amends 38 U.S. Code § 2306(a)(5) to explicitly cover members (or former members) of a Reserve who lack veteran status solely because of insufficient active-duty service. The key mechanism is updating the legal definition of eligible individuals under VA burial benefits. This directly affects reservists who served in the National Guard or other reserves but did not complete the required active-duty period, ensuring they receive the same burial benefits as veterans.
