America's Forgotten Heroes
June 25, 1876 A battle took place
on that fatal day, many brave men
fell to their deaths.
A song played that day,
so they tell us, a song
called Garry Owen,
it was the General's
favorite they say.
Custer wanted to
go out in glory
in so doing,
he took many
brave men with him.
Custer's battle at
The Little Big Horn
put him in the history
books, but those
poor souls that went
down with him,
history has forgotten
them.
They are just a few
of America's
forgotten heroes.
