Major General Harold Greene is the highest-ranking officer to fall in combat since Vietnam. The 2-star general was killed in Afghanistan on August 5 and was laid to rest earlier this year at Arlington National Cemetery.
President Obama was too busy golfing at Vineyard Golf Club with elites, such as the World Bank President, to attend. VP Biden was too busy vacationing at the Hamptons to show up.
Not only did Obama not attend, he made no public comment, like he did with Robin Williams, or even order flags to be flown half mast, which he did for Whitney Houston and Nelson Mandela.

He didn’t show up for my husband’s funeral, either! DAMN!
The President has been careful not to address the combat deaths of commanders substantially differently than the deaths of enlisted service members. To do so would be seen as disrespectful to the enlisted personnel. He did mention Gen Greene’s sacrifice shortly after his death “President Obama paid tribute Thursday to Major General Harold Greene, who was killed Tuesday during an attack in Afghanistan.
Serving in Afghanistan “continues to be a difficult and dangerous mission,” Obama said before signing a bill on veterans health care.
“Our prayers are with the Greene family, as they are with all the Gold Star families and those who have sacrificed so much for our nation,” Obama said.” The funeral was attended by SoD Hagel. I hope you are aware that the sitting presidents did not personally attend the most recent prior combat deaths either.
I agree with Susan Paxton

So sad!!
He doesn’t honor the “Unknowns” either.
