www.thealamo.org – more than 2.5 million people a year visit the 4.2 acre complex known worldwide as “The Alamo.” Most see the old mission where a small band of Texans held out for thirteen days against the centralist army of General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna.

The memories of James Bowie, David Crockett, and William B. Travis are as powerful today as when the Texan Army under Sam Houston shouted “Remember the Alamo!” as it routed Santa Anna at the battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836.
