A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that Ashli Babbitt is disqualified from eligibility for military funeral honors under section 985 of title 10, United States Code.
This Senate Resolution expresses the legislative body's view that Ashli Babbitt is disqualified from eligibility for military funeral honors under section 985 of title 10, United States Code. The resolution cites her actions on January 6, 2021, during the attempt to breach the United States Capitol, as conduct that would bring discredit upon the Armed Forces. The Senate asserts that extending military honors to individuals who actively participated in the January 6 attack would undermine the integrity of those honors and the sacrifices of millions of veterans. It specifically calls the Air Force's August 15, 2025, decision to grant her honors "indefensible, shameful, and a disservice." Furthermore, the resolution reaffirms gratitude to law enforcement who defended the Capitol and rejects any attempts to glorify or legitimize the actions of those involved in the insurrection.
