For me, the fact that this happened makes turning them away even more sad.

Vernon Baker died at his St. Maries home in July and will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery. He enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1941, served and was wounded in World War II. Vernon was 90 years old.
But Baker's wife of the last 17 years, Heidy Baker, can't afford to attend the burial of her own husband's ashes
I guess honoring an MOH awardee and his family is to expensive but the FLOTUS can jet set her way around the world.
