The day in which a rag-tag group of fighters took on and crushed one of the best armies in the world - and won themselves a nation, the sovereign Republic of Texas.
Happy San Jacinto Day, y'all! Don't forget the traditional holiday observance of expelling a Mexican!

Great day for the Great State of Texas - viva Sam Houston, and Stephen F. Austin and never forget the Alamo or Goliad
To: Fiji Hill
Can I play the part of Santa Anna?
Well, depending on who plays the Yellow Rose...?

After work today we're driving out to Lee and Bastrop counties to lay flowers at the graves of family that fought there.

We got this day off at A&M in '86 because it was the Sesquicentennial of the event. Whoop!

I work in Gonzales on Texas heroes Square
The Texas Flags are out today all around the memorial for the Gonzales 32 and the Old 18.
I really need to remember my camera on 2 Oct this year so I can catch it on film.

You should explane the Goliad massacre to the freepers, I am sure most don't know.

A good description of the Battle of Coleto Creek and the Goliad Massacre can be found
here.
Six years ago, I visited the site of the Battle of Coleto Creek at Fannin, Texas. There were no other visitors there at the time--in sharp contrast to the Alamo, which gets about four million visitors a year.
