My father passed away in February and was subsequently cremated. He served and fought in Vietnam, with a total of 14 years on active duty Air Force (Vietnam) and Army reserves. He earned the rank of Staff Sergeant and was honorably discharged.
He told my mother that he wanted to be buried with military honors at Ft. Sam. My mother submitted an application for that and it was subsequently denied. Granted, she's not very good at paperwork and the like in her old age, so I'm helping out to understand the requirements and whether this is even a possibility.
Is this honor designated for only active duty or disabled veterans?
