Senate Resolution 382 expresses the Senate's position that Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force veteran who died during the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack, should be disqualified from military funeral honors. The resolution argues that Babbitt's participation in the violent breach of the Capitol—specifically her attempt to climb through a broken window into the House Speaker's Lobby while armed—violates federal law that bars military honors for those whose conduct would discredit the Armed Forces. The measure responds to an August 2025 Air Force decision to grant Babbitt military honors, which the resolution characterizes as "indefensible and shameful." As a sense-of-the-Senate resolution, this is a symbolic statement rather than binding law, but it reflects the chamber's view that participating in the Capitol attack constitutes disqualifying conduct for military funeral honors. The resolution also reaffirms respect for law enforcement officers who defended the Capitol that day.
