Honestly I am surprised she was denied in the first place and given the numerous contradictory statements made by the Biden Admin including how it was a riot then an insurrection then a riot again. Plus
In May, the government agreed to pay Babbitt’s family nearly $5 million as part of a settlement.
I would have thought that under that settlement they would get the military honors but at least this is being corrected. To me there are very very few reasons that one should not get their military honors that they have earned. If you leave the service in good standing except for a handful of instances I am not sure we should deny our veterans their earned honors. Certainly how the government handled Jan 6 does not qualify in my eyes.
