This is the Alamo Cenotaph. It says here "From the fire that burned their bodies, rose the eternal spirit of sublime heroic sacrifice, which gave birth to an empire state"

The men that were fighting against the tyranny of their day.

The powers that be in San Antonio are going to try and get this moved. That is so sad and dumb at the same time. Why are they hiding or destroying so much history?

And this one reads,
"Erected in memory of the heroes who sacrificed their lives at the Alamo, March 6, 1836, in the defense of Texas. They chose never to surrender nor retreat; these brave hearts, with flag still proudly waving, perished in the flames of immortality that their high sacrifice might lead to the founding of this Texas."

I think it is a wonderful monument in a perfect location. I wish they wouldn't change it, but I would put money on it happening.

Has anyone ever visited San Antonio? Or want to? Let me know in the comments.
