This is the San Jacinto Monument for all of you out there that dont know....

This is the site that Sam Houston defeated Santa Anna and the Mexican army, gaining our independence from an oppressive regime. It was on April 21, 1836 - a day that is still celebrated here in Texas and taught to all Texas kids in school.

This is the highest monument in the USA - higher than the Washington Monument.What a beautiful site....I always love seeing it as I drive back into Houston from the east.

One of our favorite state mottos gives fair warning to all who would try: DONT MESS WITH TEXAS

Thanks for posting such a beautiful picture.
