GAC--
I have an extra one of those bags you find in the pouch behind the seat in front of you. Would you like me to send it to you?
Best wishes,
Fred.

Hell no, Fred! The central conceit of building a site around MOH winners who have appeared in the movies may, I grant you, be a little corny, but I'm always prepared to look at the lighter side of history as well.
If you go on to click the link for more pictures of the authors' visit to the 125th anniversary ceremonies at LBH, you'll find a considerable body of worthwhile photographs of the battlefield. I also found the photographs of the mustachioed Custer descendants speaking at the ceremony of interest - the strawberry blond hair and physiognomy were remarkably similar to their unfortunate ancestor! The authors are both ex-servicemen and write with a slightly hammy but nonetheless old-fashioned respect for their subject.
Regards,
GAC
