[ExSoldier]

In 2002, we visited San Antonio to pick up the newest family member (our Newfoundland puppy) and stopped at the Alamo. While my wife stayed in the van with the new kid so she wouldn't get scared and to start the bonding process, I wandered around the battle site. I was touched beyond belief. I stood on the spot where Davy Crockett was said to have fallen and my heart just hammered. I grew coldly furious at the talk I had heard that the Alamo defenders had quietly fled into the night, only to be caught later by the Mexicans and executed. That crap is being quietly engendered by the Mexicans. I tried to imagine what it must have felt like to be a defender and yes, I (to a degree) wished I had been present for the making of history. Those men made a difference! Not all of us can say that.

You and me brother. I go there I gotta take a knee.

As for that fled in the night bunk there is no act of courage that a coward won't seek to discredit.
