Apparently Mr. Buckles' daughter is joining in:
Last U.S. WWI vet's daughter urges Capitol honor
Personally, I have to ask: Why? Just because he was the last American WWI vet to die? Because he worked hard to ensure veterans' efforts are recognized? I mean no disrespect to Mr. Buckles and his service and sacrifices, but many other veterans made the same service and sacrifices, and many others worked to ensure veterans are given proper recognition and assistance.
I really do admire the man and his service, but is it any less honorable for him to be laid to rest at Arlington? (not that anyone is really saying that) BUT having said that, I am not against his casket being displayed in the Rotunda.
Anyway, I dunno, just my thoughts on it.
