Finally, all Texans share the Alamo. Texans admire and respect that place and what those men did who died there. What happened there is not unique in history. In fact, people have fought to the death in virtually generation ever since man started to record history. What is unique here is that a country was forged out if it.
This is where that rugged individualism comes from. Texans to this day admire people for standing up for what they believe in…even in the face of insurmountable odds. They know they might get knocked on their butts but they don’t care. If they fail, they’re just going to stand up and dust themselves off and say, “Well hell, THAT didn’t work. Now HOW do we make this happen?” Did you catch that? They ask, “HOW do we make it happen?”
