As does flags from several other states and countries. Hanging with the flag is a banner with a number. The number represents the number of men from that state or country who died defending the Alamo. The flag with the highest number is Tennessee's with 33, I believe. For Davy Crocket and his volunteers.

And I know the number from Maryland is 1. But that doesn't make me any less proud

Nor should it. I know as a Texan that when I visit the Alamo (every time I go to San Antonio, I've probably been 30 or more times). I get goosebumps looking at the flags and reading the displays. It really is holy ground to us Texans who are extremely appreciative of everyone who sacrificed themselves in the Alamo.
