After World War II, eligibility for burial at Arlington National Cemetery included military personnel who died on active duty, as well as veterans who were honorably discharged from the armed forces. This also extended to certain government officials, including U.S. presidents, and their immediate family members. Additionally, civilians who contributed significantly to national defense during the war were sometimes granted burial rights. The eligibility criteria have evolved over time, reflecting changes in military and national service.
