State Funeral for World War II Veterans

The Issue

Our Mission: “To convince the President of the United States to designate a state funeral for the last Medal of Honor recipient from World War II, as a final salute to the 16 million men and women of the greatest generation who served in our armed forces from 1941 to 1945.”

We are leading a nationwide petition drive to convince the President to designate a single state funeral for the final Medal of Honor recipient from World War II.   This event will provide national recognition to honor all 16 million soldiers, sailors and airmen who defeated Imperialism, Fascism, and Nazism.  The time has come for a final salute to the greatest generation.  A state funeral would be the perfect vehicle to do so. 

General Douglas MacArthur, Supreme Allied Commander of the Pacific, and General Dwight Eisenhower, Supreme Allied Commander of Europe, were each duly honored by the nation with state funerals.  The selfless, brave men and women who served under them deserve the honor of special recognition at the state funeral for the final Medal of Honor recipient from World War II.
