VETERAN MARKERS
Charlotte Winters
The Staff and Board of Directors of Mount Olivet Cemetery proudly salute our military veterans for their service and sacrifice in defense of our country and the freedoms we enjoy today. Many service men and women from the past rest peacefully here in Maryland’s “Cemetery Beautiful.” Mount Olivet holds soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, American Civil War, Spanish American War, the World Wars, Korea, Vietnam and the more recent conflicts in the Middle East.
Monuments and memorials pay true homage to veterans who served our great nation throughout history past and present. One of the cemetery's many veteran interments is Charlotte Louise Berry Winters (November 10, 1897-March 27, 2007). Passing at age 109, Ms. winters holds the distinction of being the last surviving female American veteran of World War I.

Military Service Medallions
Among the many options for memorial markings, the cemetery offers the opportunity to purchase commemorative medallions representing the various branches of the military. These can be embedded or attached to grave monuments, markers and plaques.
All Veterans who purchase spaces within the mausoleums are entitled to having their names engraved on the Veterans Memorial in front of the main mausoleum, at no cost. We will also help you complete all the paperwork to receive your FREE Veterans marker from the US Department of Veteran Affairs.
Again, we graciously thank you for your service.
