This is a very inportant day for Texans. Colonel William Travis issued a call for help on behalf of the Texan troops defending the Alamo.

There were 192 brave men that risk the ultimate sacrifice. Names that we all recognize include Travis, Bowie and Crockett.

Visit the Alamo if you have not there is a lot of great history, including the final chapter that gave us Texas,
