As an honorably discharged veteran who served in combat in World War Two, Marvin was eligible for burial in a military cemetery. He sought, and was granted, the opportunity to be buried in Arlington. His grave records only his military service (he was a marine PFC), makes no mention of his acting career, and is almost identical to 100s of thousands of other graves at this cemetery. Marvin did not seek any special favors and was not granted any.
