Custer Battlefield

Custer Battlefield, Montana

Each of these markers marks a spot where the bodies of LtCol George Armstrong Custer, his officers, men and civilian scouts were found after the battle of the Little Big Horn which took place on 25 and 26 June 1876. The marker with the black shield marks the spot where Custer's body was found. The bodies of these soldiers are not where the markers are. The bodies of the officers were removed and interred in national cemeteries, and the enlisted men are interred in a common grave to the rear and right of where I stood to take this picture.

27 Jun 2003 - The politically correct are at it again, this time at the Custer Battlefield National Monument in Montana, now renamed Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument. A memorial was dedicated on 25 June 2003 to the Indians who were killed at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. The Indian Memorial was authorized by Congress and signed into law on 10 December 1991 by then-President George H.W. Bush.

This is comparable to erecting a memorial at Ford Island, Hawaii, to the Japanese who were killed during the attack on Pearl Harbor.
When LtCol George Armstrong Custer and his men were massacred at the Battle of the Little Bighorn they were carrying out the policy of the United States government, under the orders of the President of the United States. They were engaged in battle against enemies of the United States.
To erect a memorial in commemoration of the Indians at this site is a national disgrace and a dishonor to Custer and his officers and men.
