Remember The Alamo

TEXANS FOUGHT HARD BUT LOST

ONE of histories hardest fought wars was the MEXICANS versus the TEXANS at the famed ALAMO.THE ALAMO is in SAN ANTONIO TEXAS.THE battle date was FEBRUARY-23-1836.SANTA ANA the MEXICAN GENERAL along with 4000 soldiers stormed the ALAMO.THE TEXANS only had 200 fighters including-DAVEY CROCKETT and JIM BOWIE.This seige was indeed a good part of TEXAS history.The cruelty of the MEXICAN army was disgusting for after the slaughter they burned the bodies of the TEXANS.

MORE recent commentary-

THE STATE OF TEXAS had a planned excavation of the ALAMO property but it was halted due to bodies of deceased individuals were found.There was suppose to be a make over worth $450,000,000.The project-would-have been done by the year 2024.The status of the ALAMO is subject to question.
