Today, in 1836, after a 13 day siege holding off a force more than 10 times their size, the defenders of the Alamo fell. Word of their valiant example spread through Texas, with the battle cry "Remember The Alamo!" urging them on. The Mexican Army was ultimately defeated on April 21, 1836 at the Battle of San Jacinto. Hats off to all the brave defenders of the Alamo, and the amazing display of bravery, honor and loyalty they showed!
