There
have been a number of press reports indicating that the Clinton Administration
has approved waivers for burial at Arlington National Cemetery for those
not normally eligible for such burial. Due to the seriousness of these
charges, I will be posting here links to the information that I am able
to gather. You are then, of course, free to draw your own conclusions.
While
I, for one, hope that these charges are not true, I believe that both Arlington
and those buried there deserve better and that the American public deserves
to know whether this hallowed ground has been sullied by politics. Your
support for these efforts would indeed be appreciated.
