The Flowers for Fallen Heroes Act of 2024 directs the American Battle Monuments Commission to create an online program allowing the public to order and place floral arrangements at grave sites under the Commission's care within one year of the bill's enactment. The program must operate without excessive administrative fees or markups and include digital photo confirmation of the decorated grave site sent to the person who ordered the flowers. The Commission is authorized to accept payment through credit cards and electronic transfers, and can contract with third-party payment processors, with any processing fees charged to the customer rather than the Commission. The bill requires the Commission to submit annual reports to Congress detailing flower order data, program management, marketing efforts, and accessibility improvements. The legislation authorizes whatever funding is necessary for the Commission to implement and maintain this new service.
