Happy Texas Independence Day! (3/02/1836) It’s fascinating that in my lifetime, the defining moments and phrases of the Texas Revolution have switched from the victory at San Jacinto (“Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!”) and the valor at the Alamo (“I shall never surrender or retreat.” “Victory or death!”) to the defiance at the Battle of Gonzales that lit the fuse of the revolt (“Come and Take It.”) Celebrate responsibly defiantly. – [Buck]
