      She was cremated and had a funeral in 2021 one month after she died. She was denied the funeral honors ceremony at her funeral at the time but this news is a reversal of that decision.

      They are inviting the family out to the Pentagon I think, where they will probably give her the flag and certificate that would have been part of the ceremony. I dunno if they are gonna have service members play taps, the song that is usually part of the ceremony at a funeral. But yeah, she already had a funeral four and a half years ago when she died.
