Maj. Gen. George Custer's grave is seen at the West Point Cemetery on Friday, March 22, 2013, in West Point, N.Y. Graves of soldiers from every U.S. war make this small plot of the land the most hallowed ground on the nation's the most venerable military academy. And after 196 years and more than 8,000 souls, it's close to full.
