This resolution asks the President of the United States to hold a single, unified state funeral when the last surviving World War II veteran dies, rather than individual funerals. South Dakota is requesting this as a way to honor all World War II veterans with one meaningful ceremony. This is a request to the federal government, not a change to South Dakota state law.
