God bless Texas! As a 3rd grade kid reading this in the History book (in Ohio mind you) it was always so vivid and stuck with me. When I finally got to visit the monument and show my wife it all, it was like those memories came full circle.

Thanks so much Tmag for your love of our Beloved Texas History!! Side note, My father found a cannon ball in the bank of a bayou close to where the final battle occurred. He was a young man on a weekend camp out! It is one of our most cherished artifacts!

I have heard several have found old musket and cannon balls out there years ago, newer laws have put a stop to searching with metal detectors and digging holes. I'm sure there are several still there.

There should be a citizen s test for all these foreigners coming to Texas.
They need to understand our history and how we feel about our Great State of Texas.
