Being a monumental event in the Texas Revolution, The Battle of the Alamo was a thirteen-day battle at the Alamo Mission near San Antonio. In the early morning of the final battle, the Mexican Army advanced on the Alamo. Quickly being overrun, the Texian Soldiers quickly withdrew inside the building. The battle has often been overshadowed by events from the Mexican–American War, But the Alamo gradually became known as a national battle site and later named an official Texas State Shrine.

Name Meaning
Altered form of a French surname, probably Requier: from a derivative of the Old French verb requerir ‘to request, to require’, hence a nickname for someone who requests something. The surname Requa, probably of the same origin, is also found in Germany, where it is very rare.
History: The American Requas trace their origin to Gabriel Requa, a French Huguenot who left France as a child prior to 1682 and went first to England and then, in 1689, to North America. His name is listed in the (US) National Huguenot Society's register of qualified Huguenot ancestors and also in the similar register of the Huguenot Society of America.
