Gunner,
>> As I recall, Comanche outlived most of the rest of the 7th Cavalry (human and otherwise) by many years. After LBH, he was present at each ceremonial parade by the 7th Cavalry, saddled but without a rider in memory of the great loss the regiment suffered. <<
True...I have a model of Comanche on my desk at work here, with Cavalry tack on. It came with a short video tape with Kris Kristoferson as a Cav Sgt telling the horse's story as the horse died with his head on the Sgt's lap. Great little production...sure to bring tears to any cavalryman.
