On June 3, 2026, the House overwhelmingly passed the American Battlefield Protection Program Amendments Act by a vote of 404-13. This bipartisan and bicameral legislation (H.R. 7618/S. 3524) would reauthorize the American Battlefield Protection Program’s (ABPP) Battlefield Land Acquisition Grant Program (BLAG) through 2035, among other things, and continue this critical investment for battlefield preservation.
The bill is now pending in the Senate. Send a letter to your Senators asking that they cosponsor and support the legislation.
