TEXAS HONOR DAYS
 

DRT promotes the celebration of Texas Honor Days. Members are encouraged to fly the Texas flag on each of these Honor Days. 

Alamo Heroes Day [March 6, 1836]

On this date in 1836 the siege of the Alamo was ended when Santa Anna’s forces stormed the Alamo and killed all of the defenders. When you hear the cry “Remember the Alamo,” this is the day that prompted that cry. The newly renovated Long Barrack Museum is the site where the bloodiest hand-to-hand fighting occurred. The names of those defenders who died that day are recorded on a granite memorial.

Annually the Alamo Mission Chapter holds an observance at the Alamo to honor the patriots who died there.
