Mark Our Place Act
This bill expands eligibility for government-furnished headstones, markers, or medallions for Medal of Honor recipients. It directly affects veterans who have received the Medal of Honor but were previously excluded from this benefit due to a specific rule. The key change modifies eligibility rules to remove an exclusion (previously applying to certain recipients), ensuring all Medal of Honor recipients qualify for these headstones or markers. The bill also corrects a reference to the wrong section of law in the existing statute.
