For the relief of the survivors of Michael T. Theodore, Jr., Joshua A. 
                   Sherbourne, and Zachary A. Nolen.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Michael T. Theodore, Jr., Joshua A. Sherbourne, and 
        Zachary A. Nolen had each passed the required mental, moral, 
        and physical examinations of the Marine Corps and were hours 
        away from being sworn in as members of the Marine Corps at the 
        time of their deaths.
            (2) On March 31, 2010, in Warren Township, Ohio, each of 
        these men was present in a government-owned vehicle driven by 
        their recruiter, Marine Sergeant Charles Keene, that was struck 
        from behind by Donald P. Williams.
            (3) Each of these men died as a result of the accident, and 
        Donald P. Williams faces aggravated vehicular homicide charges 
        in their deaths.
            (4) But for the tragic motor vehicle accident that occurred 
        on March 31, 2010, each of these men would have been sworn in 
        as members of the Marine Corps on April 1, 2010, in Cleveland, 
        Ohio.

SEC. 2. PROVISION OF LIFE INSURANCE UNDER SERVICEMEMBERS' GROUP LIFE 
              INSURANCE.

    For the purposes of subchapter III of chapter 19 of title 38, 
United States Code, Michael T. Theodore, Jr., Joshua A. Sherbourne, and 
Zachary A. Nolen shall each be deemed to have been a member of a 
uniformed service on active duty and insured under such subchapter at 
the time of their deaths on March 31, 2010.
                                 <all>
