I get it but personally don't take it as a personal insult to all veteran's.

My point was that I believe allowing Rosa Parks to lie in state in the rotunda was symbolic and has opened the door. But....Where does it stop? At what point do we say...."No, this person does not deserve the honor"?

And if that question doesn't get asked at what point is it not really an honor at all?

Understand. I think the OP subject deserves consideration, strictly from a symbolic viewpoint for someone that does represent a large military constituency that so far, unbelievably, has not even been recognized with a National War Memorial.
