I give up. What is the date for?
Maybe it's about the Mexican War? You know, where we 'appropriated' California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, etc. from Mexico? All those States acknowledge their Spanish/Mexican heritage.

I thought that the 7th cavalry's the one led by Custer.
"Official City of San Diego Flag
Official City of San Diego FlagThe official flag of the City of San Diego was adopted by the City Council on Oct. 16, 1934, when a sample banner was submitted by Albert V. Mayrhofer, on behalf of the California Historical Association, Native Sons of the Golden West, Native Daughters of the Golden West, and The San Diegans.
The flag is composed of three vertical bars, from left to right, red, white and gold. In the center white field is the official seal of the City and beneath it the date "1542," the year explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo first entered San Diego Bay and claimed the area for Spain. The use of the three vertical bars is reminiscent of the colors of the flag of Spain, which flew over Cabrillo's ship."

Anglos in Jamestown might celebrate 1609, people in San Diego celebrate 1542.

Yep...and today marks the anniversary of the battle of the Little Bighorn.
The tune, The Garryowen, was his anthem.
Wow! Big Score for Crazy Cat Lady ... Congratulations!!!

Did I win a prize? >°°<
Yeah...you get to enter the next contest free.
For the record, I am still conflicted on this issue.
Custer served the Union honorably...although what the Union did to the Native American tribes was FAR from honorable.
Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and Chief Gall were intelligent, gallant leaders of the Indian forces...and the Sioux and Cheyenne were a formidable fighting force.
It was a battle...the Indians won...Custer lost.
Eventually the Indians lost, too.
