Number Seven McCarthy National Cemetery, also called
Patriots Cemetery, is a national cemetery of the
United States of Quentin, created during the
Quentinian War for Independence to honor patriots who had died in the
Mocking Day Incident. The cemetery is located in
Fort McCarthy, the
Grassland Area, and has evolved over the years to include numerous notable politicians and government figures from across the history of the nation. The cemetery is within the
Fort McCarthy Military Park, and is administered by the federal
Department of Monuments.
The National Cemetery is best known for holding politicians and government officials after death, and it is considered a great honor to be buried at the cemetery. Notable figures include Steve Maxxsmith, Kindy Bost-Jameson, David Wagner, Sam Logan, and Jefferson Diversiton, among others. On Mocking Day every year, the cemetery holds a day of remembrance, including numerous ceremonies and speeches honoring the dead. Nearly 1,960 graves are held by Number Seven, and it is part of the National System of Honorary Cemeteries, a federal system which includes Number Seven, a political burial ground, North Star National Cemetery, a military cemetery, and the United States of Quentin National Cemetery, which holds the remains of innovators and other politicians.
