More than 2.5 million people a year visit the "The Alamo." Most come to see the old mission where a small band of Texans held out for thirteen days against the 3000 man army of General Antonio López de Santa Anna. Although the Alamo fell in the early morning hours of March 6, 1836, the death of the Alamo Defenders has come to symbolize courage and sacrifice for the cause of Liberty. The memories of James Bowie, Davy 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 in a battle that secured this fledgling state's independence from Mexico.
