[Texas56]

I’m a 7th generation Texan, and every time I visit the Alamo I’m struck by the reverence I feel for what happened there.

Liberty fought and died for by men who came from Texas, other states and other countries.

Thanks go to the Daughters of the Republic of Texas for preserving the site.

I was in San Antonio for a conference and only got to visit the Alamo at night, when it was closed. But even at night, it is a majestic presence.

I don’t think my liberal conference mates understood how thrilled and in awe I was to finally see the Alamo in person and to touch its walls. I’ve been around and seen a lot, but seeing the Alamo was certainly one of the highlights of my travels.

I am not a Texan but I was at the Alamo in the late 80s and
I felt that same reverence. It was almost tangible.

I’m a 7th generation Texan...

I'm a naturalized Texan, but I've told my three kids that despite all my faults, they'll forever thank me for the following:

1. I made sure they were born in Texas, and

2. I taught them all how to swim.

Anything else is just icing on the cake.
