I love reading about the Alamo. I visited for the first time a couple of years ago and could just imagine the battle. We grew up with stories about Davie Crockett "The King of the Wild Frontier" and Jim Bowie. Every boy wanted a Bowie knife. American Heros, and we have a duty to protect our national history. Thank you Tara for bringing us TDIH.
Thank you Tara. "Remember the Alamo" was a phrase that I remember hearing or saying as a young child while growing up and playing in rural Southern Colorado during the 1950s. I didn't understand the real significance of those words at that time. Davey Crockett and Jim Bowie were childhood heroes.
Those men and that saying had real meaning and importance to the forming of that portion of our country and it is important that we not forget the Alamo and what it means today.
I have read many accounts of this subsequently visiting this site in San Antonio. It is humbling to see such a place that so many died defending knowing the history behind it. And Texans haven't changed much since then. If you have the chance the go, I highly recommend it; it is inspiring!
my home for 20 years now. Best move we ever made. Of course we have visited the Alamo many times and know the story of the brave men who fought so valiantly there. It’s a beautiful emblem of the Texas spirit. Great post, Tara.
The defenders of The Alamo had nowhere else to go, so they fought for what they had. In Texas, these outcasts are immortal!
Remember the Alamo! (We will Never Surrender!) - a battle cry for Americans that will live forever. Thank you for honoring their memory, Tara Ross!

Very nicely said. I grew up near Rifle and watched Davy Crockett on our 1 station, black and white TV.
I wrote about this today as well. It's a great story of course. But I'm also from Texas so I probably had to write about it at some point!
It is a revelation to know the story and visit the site there in San Antonio. They were brave men (and women)!
This past Sunday we celebrated Texas independence. The men who gave their lives at the Alamo were true heroes.

A battle cry that will be remembered forever. A fitting testament to those wariors!
I echo this 100%.

I don’t live in Texas but I have been there for work often. Great respect for the spirit of the people and The United State of Texas!
🇺🇲 God bless Texas 🇺🇸
Thanks, TR!
Remember the Alamo and Remember Goliad were both well known battle cries in Texas. Thanks Tara for another great TDIH 👍 👌 😊
