The US Air Force will provide military funeral honors for Ashli Babbitt, who died during the 2021 Capitol riot.

The US Air Force will provide full military funeral honors for Ashli Babbitt, a former service member who died during the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot. Babbitt, shot by a police officer while trying to enter the Capitol building, was initially denied military honors but the decision was reversed after a review. The Air Force now offers a uniformed detail, the playing of Taps, and the folding of a U.S. flag at her funeral, despite criticism over her involvement in the riot.
