Re: Texas Vettes ! (White 68)
White 68 - YOUR SIG PIC IS AS BIG AS TEXAS!!!
Carl in LA used to be Carl in Austin!!!
Texas pride for me is all about the blood of 183 defenders of the Alamo who gave their life for the creation of the great nation of Texas... What could be more moving that the letter written by Col. Travis staring in the face of death for a noble cause. Texas still has some black eyes with supporting slavery in the early days and that miserable event a few years ago with the pickup truck.
The following is a transcription of Travis' famous appeal for aid:
Commandancy of the Alamo
Bexar, Feby 24th, 1836
To the People of Texas and All Americans in the World--
Fellow Citizens and Compatriots
I am besieged with a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna. I have sustained a continual Bombardment and cannonade for 24 hours and have not lost a man. The enemy has demanded surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison is to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken. I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, and our flag still waves proudly over the wall. I shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism, of everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid with all dispatch. The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily and will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible and die like a solder who never forgets what is due his honor and that of his country.
VICTORY OR DEATH
William Barret Travis
Lt. Col. Comd't
P.S. The Lord is on our side -- when the enemy appeared in sight we had not three bushels of corn -- We have since found in deserted houses 80 or 90 bushels & got into the walls 20 or 30 head of Beeves
CHECK THAT SINGLE CHILLING STATEMENT AGAIN...
"I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, and our flag still waves proudly over the wall. I shall never surrender or retreat"
One Bad mutherf**ker!!
By the way... my blood runs orange!
