Excellent post. My complements on the choice of the battle. (The Thermopylae of America.) It's important that Americans know this story and the sacrifices of these brave, ordinary men and citizen soldiers, for I fear soon we may have a similiar stand against the same enemy.(The Reconquistas.)

Sometime in the 1980's when I was living in Tucson, the Governor of Arizona, Bruce Babbitt went to San Antonio and proclaimed the Alamo, "a symbol of racism against Mexicans."
