Plain-English summary
Fallen Servicemembers Religious Heritage Restoration Act

The program must contact survivors and descendants of such members.
The ABMC must seek to enter into a contract with a nonprofit organization to carry out the program during the first 10 fiscal years beginning after the date of enactment of the bill.
