Armed forces Quote by Patricia Schultz
““Over 300,000 veterans from the U.S. armed forces, from the Revolutionary War to the war in Iraq, have been laid to rest in these 612 serene acres overlooking the Potomac, and more than 100 graveside services are still held every week—so many that the cemetery is projected to run out of space by 2020.””

![“Randy [Rhoads] was laid to rest at a place called Mountain View Cemetery, where his grandparents were buried. I made a vow there and then to honour his death every year by sending flowers. Unlike most of my vows, I kept it. But I’ve never been back to his graveside. I’d like to go there again one…” quote by Ozzy Osbourne](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/fd4/ozzy-osbourne-685_buried_randy-rhoads-was-laid-to-rest-at-a-place_3196400.jpg)
