The bill aims to revise the Honor and Remember Act by officially including the Space Force as a recognized component of the United States Armed Forces. Additionally, it proposes the creation of a commemorative memorial coin specifically for the family members of eligible veterans, ensuring that these families receive a tangible symbol of honor and remembrance for their loved ones' service.

To facilitate this initiative, the bill outlines the distribution process for the memorial coins to family members and provides a clear definition related to the eligibility criteria for veterans. Furthermore, it amends several sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), specifically sections 10-2-802, 10-2-803, 10-2-804, 10-2-805, and 10-2-807, to incorporate these changes and enhance the existing framework of the Honor and Remember Act.
