The rules may be more strict or lenient for burial in these cemeteries.

If you want to have a big funeral and a fancy tombstone in a nice cemetery, it will cost a lot. That's OK. You're a veteran; the Department of Veterans Affairs will pay. Right? Well … not so fast.

Can we get a class action lawsuit against @NBCSports for not showing us #OZZY during the #NFLKickoff? The only reason I watched this infernal sport contest was to see the freaking advertised #PrinceofDarkness not your self promotion crap!
