Why on earth was this man not so honored before now?

[Poser]

I believe he has been honored before. I seem to remember last year including the last three or possibly 4 WWI veterans.

Well, he has been honored several times over the past few years. Here’s a link to his page on the Library of Congress Veterans History Project.

He was also just recently given special permission to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

Bush had him in the Oval Office in March.

There is a photo of it somewhere.
