thank you very much! If you know men of the Seventh, I would be glad to show them the video. 141 years of service for the flag, from Garry Owen in glory!

I retired 14 years ago and don't know anyone that I can think of who is still in the 7th Cav. I spent my final years in the Sixth Cav. "Fighting Sixth." It was an Attack Helicopter AH-64 unit at that time.

I don't know whether you saw that series, "Out of the West" (I think) but I was so pleased when they didn't engage in a lot of Custer bashing. The part where the cavalry scout's mother and father went to the Little Bighorn after the battle was very touching and, in my humble opinion, was an honorable way to illustrate that what had occurred there.
