    Personally, I hope it goes to a museum.
    "It has spent the last 115 years carefully preserved at a museum.
    But now a bloodstained flag that was with General Custer when his troops were massacred by Native Americans at the Battle Of The Little Bighorn is to be sold at auction.
    The military standard - known as Custer's Last Flag - has 13 red and white stripes and 35 gold stars in a circular pattern.
    It was discovered after three days after the battle of June 25, 1876 lying under the body of one of the 7th Cavalry."
