Recognizing WWII Cadet Nurse Service as Active Duty

This bill aims to honor World War II Cadet Nurses by recognizing their service as active duty for specific veteran benefits. This means they will be eligible for certain burial-related benefits, such as headstones and markers, acknowledging their significant contributions.
Key points
Service in the United States Cadet Nurse Corps (1943-1948) will be considered active duty if honorably discharged.
Eligible individuals will receive headstones, markers, and other burial benefits, excluding interment at Arlington National Cemetery solely based on this service.
The Secretary of Defense will issue honorable discharges within one year if service warrants it.
Cadet Nurses will be honored as veterans but will not receive other benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs, except as specified.
The Secretary of Defense may design service medals or memorial plaques to honor these individuals.
