It really depends on my finances. As far as I'm concerned, these people deserve a proper military burial regardless of what their contribution was and $250 is a really small price to pay for that. Affording to do it is a different matter. But if I had the money, I would gladly pony up for probably several of these people.
I don't think that the general public should necessarily be on the hook for this though. I would say they should feel that kind of appreciation and should help out but at the end of the day, this is (to me) not actually a necessity so adding it to taxes would be wrong.
