Yesterday was the 177th anniversary of the fall of the Alamo.

Yes, I know...it’s why I mentioned it.

Out of that defeat came a larger victory - the State of Texas.

The sacrifice of those Patriots there made a free and independent Texas possible.

And they provide a picture of bravery, honor, courage, and duty for successive generations to look up to.

God bless them.

“...the fall of the Alamo...”

Actually, in a way, it wasn’t so much the “fall of the Alamo” as it was the “Rise of Texas”, if you think about it.

Make sure you Texans teach your children about it properly, because there is a segment of our population that wants to erase our heroes... Make sure there is always a Texas for the rest of us look up to... I’ve never been to your state, but I always wanted to live there one day.
