HR 6203 United States House · 119th Congress

United States Cadet Nurse Corps Service Recognition Act of 2025

This bill recognizes the service of individuals who were members of the U.S. Cadet Nurse Corps between July 1, 1943, and December 31, 1948, by treating that service as active duty for specific burial-related benefits. It requires the Secretary of Defense to issue an honorable discharge to eligible individuals within one year of the bill's enactment, designating their discharge date. The bill allows for commemorative items like service medals or plaques but clarifies that recipients will not receive most VA benefits (only headstones/markers under specific chapters of law). It directly affects living cadet nurses from that era and their families for burial purposes.
