Recognizing World War II Cadet Nurse Corps Service as Active Duty

This bill aims to officially recognize the service of individuals in the U.S. Cadet Nurse Corps between 1943 and 1948 as active military duty. Upon receiving an honorable discharge, these individuals will be honored as veterans and become eligible for specific benefits, primarily related to headstones and grave markers. This change provides symbolic recognition and limited benefits, honoring their crucial contribution during World War II without granting full veteran benefits administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
