Re: I WAS THERE
Well told story. Reminded me of the days I spent teaching Mr. Ed to talk. Had to keep the sessions short so he wouldn't become...hoarse.
This brings to mind...is there anything truly "Custer" left anywhere? The Custer house at Fort Riley is only one that was similar due to the actual house burning down and the other "Custer house" at Fort Abraham Lincoln (State Park) is a rebuild as is the whole fort there.

Re: I WAS THERE
The joke at Ft. Riley was that when Custer left to travel further west he said, "Don't do anything until I get back." And nobody has.

A thread back from the dead!
I wasn’t here the first time this went around. Glad I was able to catch it this time.
There is a modern book titled “Horse Soldiers,” set in Afghanistan, post 9-11. Total different circumstances than the original Horse Soldiers, but a great read nonetheless.

Re: I WAS THERE
Same here. I just joined last year so I hadn’t seen this. Great story. Well told. There is just something so, I can’t find the word, about these military ceremonies that touches anyone who witnesses them. Same feeling when George H.W. Bush was buried. I loved all the military ceremonies, there was something so...., what is the right word for this?
