Little Big Horn is not a commemoration to Custer. It is a memorial to all who fought at the battle, both US Cavalry and the Sioux tribes involved. Its purpose is wholly historical.

The one in Ohio commemorates his Civil War actions, not his defeat in 1876.
There's also a monument at the site of the Little Bighorn battle, but that's not a "Custer" monument.
While he seems to have been quite popular with his men, I agree that he was an idiot and an egomaniac.
