Greetings from a fellow (peace time, thank God) Army vet and a true admirer of Texas ...

Glad to meet you, I've seen and admired your posts here for some time.

I'm a son of Texas and the south. Part of my family came here during the days of the Republic, leaving Virginia after the Revolution, thru North Carolina, Kentucky and Arkansas arriving here in the early 1840's. Some came right after the Civil War thru the port of Galveston from Alsace. All on my dads side. My mother side were all germans from the northern tier and we try not to hold that "agin 'em".

I'm come from Georgia penal colony stock on my father's side and Virginia on my mother's.

I guess you've heard about the upcoming remake of The Alamo. If not, prepare to commence a slow burn.
