The Alamo

The 13-day siege, part of the Texas Revolution between the Republic of Mexico and the rebel Texian forces, ended in March 1836, with the capture of the mission and the death of nearly all the Texian and Tejano defenders. The holdout stalled the Mexican Army and allowed Sam Houston to gather troops and supplies for his later success at the Battle of San Jacinto. The Texian revolutionaries went on to win the war. The battle took place at a turning point in the Texas Revolution, and those who fought and died there are credited with spurring the Texians to victory with the cry...

XX"Remember the Alamo!!!"







On a slightly less reverent note–we couldn't resist.
"...just tell them LARGE MARGE SENT YA, AH HA HA HA HA!!!"
