SEC. 2. DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS REQUIRE-
MENT WITH RESPECT TO OFFERING OF 13- 
FOLD FLAG RECITATION AT FUNERALS OF 
VETERANS IN NATIONAL CEMETERIES. 
The Secretary of Veterans Affairs may not authorize 
an honor guard to participate in the funeral of any veteran 
interred in a national cemetery under the control of the 
National Cemetery Administration unless the honor guard 
agrees to offer to the family of each veteran in whose fu-
neral the honor guard chooses to participate the option 
of having the honor guard perform one of the 13-fold flag 
recitations. 
SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS. 
It is the sense of Congress that 13-fold flag recita-
tions are a historical tradition, and that it should be the 
policy of the Department of Veterans Affairs to authorize 
honor guards to participate in the funerals of veterans and 
proactively offer such a recitation to the family of each 
veteran.
