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.
