Congress opened national cemeteries to all honorably

discharged veterans of the Union forces. Legislation after World War I opened them to

American veterans of all wartime service. Finally, after World War II, Congress

expanded eligibility for burial to all veterans of U.S. armed forces, American war

veterans of allied armed forces and veterans' spouses and dependent children.
