Hell yeah.
And I've got a replica of that Gonzales Flag ready for service.

I'm a newcomer to Texas, only been here 9 months to the day. However, I remember Davy Crockett was only here five months before he was murdered outside the Alamo by the Mexican Army.
I love it here, and so far I haven't had any Mexicans try to kill me outside a church.

IIRC, Texas was forced to join the Union.

After Mexico withdrew, they blew up the fortifications of the Alamo leaving only the chapel which we have today.
You would be surprised to see all the art work done in the past showing only the Chapel as the fortification.

I am American by birth. Texan by choice. I wasn’t born here but I got here as fast as I could.
I’ve been to the Alamo more times than I can remember. And I’d like to go again.
Travis was only 26 years old. He was killed in the first attack.

It is too bad Texas didn’t keep its independence. Same for California.

"Known for their generosity, hospitality, unusual accent, and penchant for the larger-than-life, Texans are wonderful people to meet, and the variety of cultural experiences, from feasting on bratwurst with the Germans of the Hill Country to watching Flamenco dancers with the Tejanos of the Rio Grande valley, is seemingly unlimited.”Source-Wikitravel

Happy Independence Day. Today we honor the memory of when Texas was a free nation, free from being controlled or occupied by a foreign nation. May that memory inspire Texans to be free again someday.
Remember the Alamo
Remember Goliad
Remember the Republic
