Condolences on the loss of your sister!!
Other awesome sources of info are both the VA and the American Legion. They can help with bunches of stuff related to the uniform and burial rites. For these types of issues I find the Chaplains most helpful. You can also directly call the Chaplains at Arlington National Cemetery, they actually have print outs of some of this stuff. I'll get you names and numbers if I can - rough day today but I'll try tomorrow.
I'm a Navy brat of many generations with a sister and BIL still in.
