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.
