According to Associated Press<\/a>, 83-year-old Raymond Sawyer, who at some point in his life claimed to have been awarded the Navy Cross and also murdered his wife in Arizona in 1983, died in prison and is now looking at being interred at the Arlington National Cemetery.<\/p>\n

In order to build goodwill with the veteran community, Sawyer’s daughter released this statement to build bridges;<\/p>\n

His daughter, Mary Sawyer, told KUSA-TV in Denver that the choice of her father’s gravesite was a family matter.<\/p>\n

“It’s not the public’s decision,” Sawyer said. “Other people should mind their own business.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’d submit to Mary that it’s the public’s decision, since it’s our cemetery and we’ll be paying for it.<\/p>\n

But, AP writes that there’s nothing to prevent Sawyer from being planted there since public law only prevents perpetrators of capital crimes from being buried at Arlington and Sawyer was convicted of second-degree murder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
