Story here. A comment to that story asks why the long delay since his death? I would guess that it took time to get the appropriate clearances. Some time back I read that Arlington's space was limited, and so only a few classes of veterans (e.g., those who earned the Medal of Honor) were being approved for burial there.
It's not that demanding but it is more by invitation than it once was. Currently a Silver Star is enough as is being a Justice of the Supreme Court. Family members -spouse and some children - may also qualify.
