I’m not even sure if its a trivia question any more...

We are so disconnected from the important part of our roots in this country...

Next generation won’t know about the Alamo and won’t care to find out...

Might as well make it a 7-11....who needs all that ancient history stuff anyway.../sad sarc off

That was some intense fighting to have that many losses in just one hour!

When teaching near San Antonio, we took classes of fourth graders to the Alamo after watching the IMAX movie about the battle. It is a great way for 10 year olds to learn to appreciate these heroes of Texas history.

It is no accident that in WW II, many of the military heroes hailed from the Lone Star State.

""Remember the Alamo" was the battle cry as Texas avenged the defeat later in the year and eventually gained their independence."

"Remember Goliad, remember the Alamo!" They were avenging not just those who were killed at the Alamo, but also at the Goliad Massacre, which happened a few weeks after the Alamo fell.

Alamo remembered; Goliad often forgotten

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
