World War II Cadet Nurses would be honored as veterans and get specific burial benefits.
This bill would officially recognize World War II Cadet Nurses as veterans, making them eligible for certain burial benefits like headstones and grave markers. It would also require the Department of Defense to issue honorable discharges to these nurses, acknowledging their service to the nation.
Today, service in the United States Cadet Nurse Corps during World War II is not considered active duty for veteran benefits. If this bill becomes law, eligible Cadet Nurses would receive an honorable discharge and their service would be recognized as active duty for specific burial benefits, such as headstones and grave markers, honoring them as veterans.
