Cowtown Scout, SASS #53540 L Posted March 6 Posted March 6 (edited) On this date March 6th, 189 years ago in 1836 the Alamo fell to Mexican forces of Santa Anna. Six weeks later at San Jacinto the cry "Remember the Alamo" would be used during that battle which included the capture of Santa Anna. Edited March 6 by Cowtown Scout, SASS #53540 L 5 2 Quote
