We have a lot of troops today whose mothers don't even live in the US. Is there any rational reason they shouldn't be honored if their child is killed serving in our forces?

No one disagrees that they should be honored for their son's sacrifice. However, this group has its own rules. Let those people who so desire form their own organization for non-citizens.

I would agree, except that the organization receives Federal Funds, which takes it out of the 'Private Club' category.

Two former presidents of the organization are quoted as favoring a rule change.

My guess is that the board rejected a sensible rule change reflexively as a challenge to their authority, and are too proud and too foolish to change their minds.
