Section 106 of title 38, United States Code, is amended by
adding at the end the following new subsection:
“(g)(1)(A) Service as a member of the United States Cadet
Nurse Corps during the period beginning on July 1, 1943, and
ending on December 31, 1948, of any individual who was
honorably discharged therefrom pursuant to subparagraph (B)
shall be considered active duty for purposes of eligibility
and entitlement to benefits under chapters 23 and 24 of this
title (including with respect to headstones and markers),
other than such benefits relating to the interment of the
individual in Arlington National Cemetery provided solely by
reason of such service.
“(B)(i) Not later than one year after the date of the
enactment of this subsection, the

served as a member of the United States Cadet Nurse Corps
during the period beginning on July 1, 1943, and ending on
December 31, 1948, a discharge from such service under
honorable conditions if the Secretary determines that the
nature and duration of the service of the individual so
warrants.
“(ii) A discharge under clause (i) shall designate the
date of discharge. The date of discharge shall be the date,
as determined by the Secretary, of the termination of service
of the individual concerned as described in that clause.
“(2) An individual who receives a discharge under
paragraph (1)(B) for service as a member of the United States
Cadet Nurse Corps shall be honored as a veteran but shall not
be entitled by reason of such service to any benefit under a
law administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, except
as provided in paragraph (1)(A).
“(3) The Secretary of Defense may design and produce a
service medal or other commendation, or memorial plaque or
grave marker, to honor individuals who receive a discharge
under paragraph (1)(B).”.
