Washington, D.C. — Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today released the following statement after the Army announced the limited reintegration of the caisson into funeral services at Arlington National Cemetery:

  “The Old Guard has a long tradition of ensuring our nation’s fallen heroes are interred with the highest honors. I am encouraged by the Army’s announcement that limited caisson services will resume, and I look forward to the Caisson Platoon returning to full-time duty at Arlington National Cemetery soon. America’s service members, their families, and their loved ones deserve nothing less.”
