TEXAS HONOR DAYS
 

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

Goliad Heroes Day [March 27, 1836]

Following the fall of the Alamo, the Mexican Army, under the command of General Santa Anna, attacked Colonel James W. Fannin’s men at Goliad. Fannin was forced to surrender. On March 27, 1836, 320 prisoners were executed, the largest loss of life in the cause of Texas independence.  “Remember Goliad!” became one of the great battle cries at San Jacinto.
