March 6

After Hurricane Harvey hit last fall, political commentator Dan Bongino  was reported to have said, "I totally get it now why Texans are so proud of their state."

Let me tell you something, Mr. Bongino.  We are proud, and that pride starts right here, with this list of names.

These are the men who fell on that day in 1836.

Don't just scroll past the list.  Read the names.  Each one of them is attached to a soul --  a soul who felt freedom was worth dying for.  A soul who stood strong against overwhelming odds, and sold his life dearly for Texas.

Read the names.

And remember.
