As one who IS ELIGIBLE because I received a PH, I am perfectly aware of the allowances for those who did not serve in battle and did not receive commendations for their service as I did.
BTW, “who have received the Purple Heart of the Congressional Medal of Honor” is inaccurate.
One doesn't receive a PH “of” the CMOH. Those are two entirely different commendations.
Calm down. I made a typo..sorry about that. Yes the PH and the MOH are two different medals and people, as you say, do not win them, they receive them for heroic actions. My husband is a retired member of the Armed Forces who has a chest full of medals one of which is the PH. He flew 407 fixed wing combat missions in two tours in Viet Nam.
For those who are not aware of the regs for Arlington I merely quoted the requirements as stated in the document provided by the MOAA.
That said, there are different classifications others may not be aware of regarding who is eligible for Arlington.
obtw..I agree with your view on Kennedy. It is an outrage.
