Tomorrow is Texas Independence Day, marking the 169th anniversary of the signing of our declaration of independence from Mexico at Washington-on-the-Brazos. The seige of the Alamo was taking place in San Antonio, and four days later, the Alamo fell and all its courageous defenders died. But emboldened by their sacrifice and the damage their inflicted on the Mexican army, Sam Houston was able to rout Gen. Santa Anna in the battle of San Jacinto on April 21.
That's what Texas school children will be celebrating tomorrow if the teacher is worth his/her salt.

it would be interesting to see how many children are actually learning and celebrating this fine piece of Texas history.
