Fallen Servicemembers Religious Heritage Restoration Act
Introduced Apr 7, 2025 by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz
The House passed it. The Senate has to pass it before it can reach the President.
This bill requires the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) to establish the Fallen Servicemembers Religious Heritage Restoration Program to identify deceased members of the Armed Forces who were Jewish and buried in a U.S. military cemetery located outside of the United States under a marker indicating the member was not Jewish. The program must contact survivors and descendants of such members.
The ABMC must seek to enter into a contract with a nonprofit organization to carry out the program during the first 10 fiscal years beginning after the date of enactment of the bill.
