Flight 293 Remembrance Act

This bill requires the Department of Defense to find and record all military plane crashes that happened outside of war and to create a public database listing the names, ranks, and service details of service members who died in those crashes. It also requires the Department of Defense to help the families of those service members by making sure they know about available benefits and support services, giving them personalized help applying for those benefits, and connecting them with community and peer support groups. A specific point of contact must be set up for these families to guide them through the process and work with other agencies to coordinate assistance. The bill also says that no one can be discriminated against based on disability, sex, race, color, or national origin when receiving help under this law.
