Yea. I bet when Travis dragged his sword across the dirt, it really didn't Matter what state your parents were from. You were going to die, did you want to die for no reason or for a very good cause. Those from those states that settled in what would be Texas chose the cause. I thank them.
When Sam Houston did a early morning attack at san jacinto, it changed everything we Texans think of as our state. I take my daughter to the SJ monument often, just to feel the goose bumps of that day. The monument has a 15X15 room at the top to look out. No AC , No rest rooms just look out windows.
Although the Alamo guys died, They made the Mexican army delay, which gave Houston a chance to get more troops.
Remember the Alamo has a very big meaning for Texans.
