Whether someone deserves to lie in state at the Capitol Rotunda should be based on his individual career merits. This is a very rare honor reserved for only the most exceptional of American citizens. Hap Arnold and Chester Nimitz were not afforded this honor and their military careers were legions ahead of this veteran.

Being the last of a group to survive should not merit exceptional recognition and honors beyond what the person's career earns.
