My dad was an extra in the new Alamo movie. He also does reenactments there every second weekend of every month. Tryin to keep the history alive so my kids and their kids will know why Texas is the greatest. We owe it to those men and many others of the time. So raise your glasses high, "Here's to the men of the Alamo and to all of the men of the revolution!"

Renrich I find the whole historical aspects of The Alamo fascinating. I watched both versions of the Alamo. Basically I perfer the John Wayne version but that is a matter of taste I suppose. How closely linked in Texas History for Independance leading to in a short period of time less then 30 years after San Jancito. All Mexican Territory being wrested away by the US in the American Mexican War Texas joining the Union and then succeeding from the Union to join the Confedaracy. What an interesting paradox of events Renrich. Sort of the paradox of Texas forming its own Nationhood then joining another Nation in building a greater expansion. Kind of reminds me of the Boers in South Africa with the formation of the Orange Free State in some ways during and prior to the Boer War Renrich. It maybe a poor comparasion but I hope you understand that is how the State of Texas reminds me in some ways. You might say its not that unique but has similarities elsewhere
