You posted precedent for unknown soliders to lay in state in the capitol. Frank Buckles is not unknown and the focus would be on him, rather than “every” World War I vet. There is no precedent to have soliders lay in state simply because they outlived everyone else, and it makes no sense to give Buckles this honor when no previous war veteran was honored for outliving everyone else. Why is he more special than say, Albert Woolson, the last surviving vet of the civil war? Woolson died in ‘56, and didn’t lay in state.
