Congressional Summary of HR 4928
Giving Reservists A Valiant Eternity Act or the GRAVE Act
This bill expands eligibility for government headstones or markers provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs to certain members of the reserve components of the Armed Forces. Specifically, the bill expands eligibility to a member or former member of a reserve component who is not eligible for veteran status solely by reason of not meeting the minimum active-duty service requirements. Under current law, such benefit is only available to reservists who at the time of their death were eligible for retirement pay or who would have been eligible for retirement pay but for the fact they were under 60 years of age.

I heard about this new bill, the HR Bill 4928 GRAVE Act, and I'm not sure what to think about it. It seems like it could have some serious consequences for me and my community, but I'm not exactly sure how. Can someone explain the big picture of this bill to me?
