In honor of my first New Years spent in Houston, a little something from The Alamo.
There have been many ideas of what Texas is, what it should become, and we are not all in agreement. But I'd like to ask each of you what it is you value so highly that you are willing to fight and possibly die for. We will call that Texas. The Mexican army hopes to lure us into attempting escape. Almost anything seems better than remaining in this place, penned up. If, however, we force the enemy to attack, I believe every one of you will prove himself ten in return. We will not only show the world what patriots are made of, but we will also deal a crippling blow to the army of Santa Anna.
