Braun
U.S. Senators Mike Braun, Jon Tester, and Sherrod Brown have introduced the Mark Our Place Act, which amends current law to allow the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to provide a headstone, marker, or medallion for Medal of Honor recipients, regardless of their date of death.
Currently, this is only available to Medal of Honor recipients that served after 1917.
“We owe a debt of gratitude to those who have served and sacrificed to protect our freedom,” Sen. Braun said. “The Medal of Honor represents exceptional service and it should be permanently and distinctly memorialized for all recipients, regardless of their dates of service.”
