Flight 293 Remembrance Act
Military Plane Crash Database and Family Support
The Flight 293 Remembrance Act is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. It has been sent to a subcommittee for review, which is a normal step for new bills. The bill is actively moving forward as it waits for further study by committee members.
Legislative Progress
While supporting military families is popular, many bills introduced in the House never make it out of committee for a full vote.
Key Points
- This bill requires the Department of Defense to create a public database listing every service member who died in a non-combat military plane crash. It will include records dating back to 1984 and earlier if information is available from other groups.
- Families of those killed in these crashes would get a dedicated point of contact at the Department of Defense. This person would help them find financial aid, counseling, and other benefits they might not know they are eligible for.
- The program aims to connect grieving families with peer support networks. This allows people who have lost loved ones in similar accidents to meet and share their experiences.
- The Department of Defense must report back to Congress within two years. They will need to show how many families they have helped and how much of the database has been completed.
