Thank you for your excellent post. I also enjoyed your home page.

April 21 is also the anniversary of the founding of Rome (at least according to later Roman belief). Of course, Rome wasn't built in a day. When in Rome, do as the Romans do, and remember semper ubi sub ubi.

Yes, Remember the Alamo, BUT
More important:
Remember San Jacinto, 18 minutes that spawned a Republic.
God Bless the US, God Bless Texas, God Bless your family and mine.

There were a lot of Tejanos with Houston that day.

Texas was one of several northern Mexican states which rebelled at Santa Anna's abrogation of the 1824 Constitution and illegal assumption of dictatorial powers. Thanks be that those brave Texians and Tejanos were able to make the Texas revolt stick.

Thank you. I just ordered the free e book.
I chose not to move to San Antonio, Texas Air Force Village, but came to Atlantic Beach, Florida, Fleet Landing. Still LOVE Texas.

Happy San Jacinto Day.
This is also the day that John Coffee Hays passed in 1883. He’s commonly known as Jack Hays, Texas Ranger.
Posted from the county named in his honor.

Great stuff! Was this published in Military History magazine? I remember reading about this some time ago.

The next time the Reconquistas get in your face, tell them you have two words for them:
San.
Jacinto.
Then tell them you've got two more:
Guadaloupe.
Hidalgo.
They're even Spanish words, so los amigos can comprende, si?

One of the men in the Battle was my ancestor,
Jesse Walling.
In the basement of the monument is a historical archive, and some of his letters donated by the family when he passed are stored there. One of them was from Sam Houston, asking for him to bring Houston's horse and rifle because Houston had to 'travel to the east'.
Never really did figure out why Walling had them in the first place, though. LOL!

Happy San Jacinto Day, Texas!

We will need another soon. I predict my state turns purple by the 2024 election if not sooner via amnesty.
