Right.  Davy Crockett died in San Antonio, Texas defending the Alamo [Span., = cottonwood].

San Antonio is currently recovering from damage from a flood which occurred right after Pres. Bush announced his goal to set-up up a Palestinian state in the middle of Israel.  He wants an abomination and a flood of demon possessed Muslims in the middle of Israel and he gets a flood in in the middle of his own land, Texas.  Sowing and reaping.

Crockett, David

Crockett (kròk´ît), David
Known as "Davy."  1786-1836
American frontiersman and politician who was a U.S. representative from Tennessee (1827-1831 and 1833-1835) and joined the Texas revolutionaries fighting against Mexico. He died at the siege of the Alamo.

Political Events, 1836

The Alamo at San Antonio falls March 6 to a 4,000-man army commanded by the president of Mexico Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, 40, after an 11-day siege. The 188-man force that has garrisoned the Franciscan mission includes William B. Travis, 26, Bowie knife inventor James Bowie, 39, and former U.S congressman from Tennessee David "Davy" Crockett, 49. The Mexicans sustain nearly 1,600 dead plus many wounded, spare 30 U.S. noncombatants, but kill the entire garrison, shooting five prisoners.
