Deny military funeral honors to Babbitt
This bill would make Ashli Babbitt ineligible for military funeral honors under section 985 of title 10, United States Code. It would direct the Department of Defense to treat her as disqualified because of her participation in the January 6, 2021 insurrection, including crawling through a broken window of a barricaded door leading to the House Speaker's Lobby.
