US Air Force (USAF) veteran Julie Frein said she is willing
to give up her burial plot at Arlington National Cemetery to Tamerlan Tsarnaev
- the deceased Boston bombing suspect. The Anne Arundel County woman told Fox45
she feels the terrorist suspect should be able to be laid to rest and just
wants it to all be over. "I feel sympathy for [his family] in that as long
as this issue is open, they can't have closure," Frein told Fox45's Joy
Lepola.
When asked how she thought Americans would react to the suspect being
buried in a national cemetery, Frein replied, "Well the country would just
have to get over that, wouldn't they? Because nobody, nobody deserves to rot
above ground." Frein has already called the funeral home in Massachusetts
where Tsarnaev's body is currently stored and is in the process of contacting
the Office of Veteran Affairs to see if she will be able to offer up her plot.
Frein served in the USAF for two years. Her husband served in the US Navy for
20 years.
