I wonder if we could, today in this country of 310 MILLION people, find 189 men who would be willing to fight a doomed battle like that.
Born in Tennessee... and is still a Texas Hero.
“but at least they have assimilated !!”
LOL! NOT!!
Thank you for posting.
To anyone interested in Texas history, please see my
‘about’ page. Brief history of Alamo, and the ‘Come and Take it flag’- also some famous quotes about Tx. I love what Bum Phillips had to say.
Exactly my point !! ... (I forgot the /s tag )
Since when did Mexican become a race ? (ie: La Raza)
My neighborhood here in Fort Worth is 3/4 Hispanic about 4 out of 5 speak English, all the kids do, most of them work. They’re not to friendly to the illegals.

Remember the Alamo!
Only 46 more days until San Jacinto day.
Feb. 24, 1836 “To the People of Texas & All Americans in the World
Fellow Citizens & compatriots-
I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna - I have sustained a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man - The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken - I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls - I shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch - The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country - Victory or Death.
William Barret Travis.
Lt. Col.comdt.
P. S. The Lord is on our side.
Every time I see that picture I see the Texas flag is upside down (sign of distress).
Good point. They certainly were in distress.
