Sam Houston should’ve executed Santa Anna on the spot at the Battle of San Jacinto.
"Allways speak the truth and you will never have to remember what you said before..." Sam Houston Texans, "We say Grace, We Say Mam, If You Don't Like it, We Don't Give a Damn!"
Indeed I was, the guys next to me on the volley firing line had driven in from Louisiana and Kentucky, the Italian guy didn’t make it this year. A guy flown over from England laid a wreath on behalf of their Alamo Society (by far the largest annual Alamo reenactment takes place in England).
Then there’s the many descendants present, Anglo and Tejano, several of whom laid wreaths. Perfectly still dawn, perfect weather. Phenomenal violin player playing a clear and mournful air at the opening. Goosebumps after the volley when the piper closed with Amazing Grace.
The hardest part is out and dressed the part before 5am after working late the night before, glad I went, coulda easily overslept.
Same photo as the other Alamo thread, seems to fit here.

You’re welcome, but it ain’t like it’s a chore 🙂

Lotta woke emmeffers that would like to see the Alamo bulldozed to the ground. They've already succeeded with changing the names of schools and streets and destroying statuary and portraits and other depictions of those that made the state what it is. I didn't have any ancestors at Bexar or San Jacinto AFAIK, other than relatives that attended San Jacinto school and those that still live in SA. My momma's line was here in the Republic days before statehood, and daddy's at least as long. Hard working people like my folks and ancestors made it a great place.
Shame that I can't turn the clock back to their days
I can't imagine a second defense of the Alamo not being 10 times as intense and determined as the first, or unsuccessful either. Anyone wondering about the sincerity of the admonition to refrain from messing with Texas would surely wonder no more---one way or another.
Don't be the darkness.
America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.
