Revisionists have tried for years to diminish the battle of the Alamo and it appears they may have succeeded to a point. I remember when we had a state holiday in honor of Texas independence, but no more. Don't want to hurt feelings or step on toes of our ever increasing Mexican population. In other words, we're sucking up. God bless the defenders!

I remember reading in the Dallas Morning News an article on our state quarter. The gov't decided against the Alamo but decided I think on a star. What a bunch of COWARDS! Some woman who was involved said the reason they did not want to use the Alamo was because it was " more of a San Antonio thing and they wanted all Texans to feel included. What a joke! I have never in my life considered it a "San Antonio thing" that would be Sea World.
