What this bill would do
This bill is known as the Zeus 95 Memorial Act. It requires the Secretary of the Army to place a monument in Arlington National Cemetery honoring the crew members of Zeus 95 who were killed in action on March 12, 2026, in support of Operation Epic Fury. If a proper place inside the cemetery cannot be found, the monument must be placed outside the entrance. The design must be approved by the Secretary of the Army and the Secretary of the Air Force, and it must go on a non-burial plot. Finally, the monument can only be placed if the Secretary of the Air Force agrees to pay all costs for site preparation, construction, installation, and maintenance.
