For what it's worth, all honorably discharged vets rate burial in
Arlington.

As long as we're off topic, here's a thought for tomorrow.

We used to call it Armistice Day, now we call it Veterans Day.  The
Canadians have it right -- they call it Remembrance Day.

A Canadian soldier wrote the following in 1915 during the Battle of
Ypres.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
