He gets into Arlington based on his two years of active duty AND his elected office!  Bobby met the same criteria, ex-Navy and a U.S. Senator from NY...

I'm sure my dad, (WWII) Uncle Mac (WWII, Korea, Vietnam) and Aunt Ruth (Korea) will be digging themselves out of Arlington shortly.

They all SERVED their country, Teddy!

There once was a man from Nantucket Northwest Iowa....

There was a poignant footnote to President Obama's historic July 10 meeting with Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican. Behind closed doors in the papal library, Obama handed Benedict a letter that Senator Edward Kennedy had asked him to personally deliver to the pontiff. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs later told reporters that nobody - not even the President - knew the contents of the sealed missive. Obama himself asked Benedict to pray for Kennedy, and called the ailing Senator afterward to fill him in on his encounter with the 82-year-old Pope.

 Interesting find CJ,, if he wasn't a "Kennedy" he probably would have been excommunicated.
