I never heard of a 175th anniversary. Why not go all out and wait for the 200th which could be the celebration of all celebrations. Heck it is only 25 years from now and most of us on Free Republic will only be in our late 50’s early to late 60’s max. They could make it a national celebration if they do it right.
I'd say celebrate it now. Make people remember and keep it in their hearts. Do it now before people forget and Texas gets ceeded to Mexico by some idiot liberal president who I won't name here...
Wonder if Mexicans will try to pull a “Viva Max” and occupy the sacred space of the Alamo during the anniversary.
