They have burial benefits PO1 John Miller, just not in Arlington. I am sure most veterans don't know they are not eligible to be buried in Arlington; there are very specific guidelines that cover those who can be buried there. Its like when I die, I want the flag to be flown at half staff over the Capitol. Its just not going to happen as I don't meet the guidelines as to whom they will do that for. Yeah, I can circulate a petition on change.org requesting a special exception but that doesn't mean its going to happen and it shouldn't as I don't meet the criteria just as these honorable women don't meet the requirement for burial in Arlington.

"During World War II, a brave group of women joined the war effort by enlisting in the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP). These 1,074 women pilots -- including my grandmother, Elaine Danforth Harmon -- worked stateside ferrying planes, towing targets for gunnery training, and serving as instruments instructors for male pilots."
