1836 · Remember the Alamo

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

English: from the Middle English personal name Hereward, usually representing Old English Hereweard (from here ‘army’ + weard ‘ward, guardian’) but possibly in some cases the cognate ancient Germanic Hariward, Heriward through Norman introduction. This name was borne by an 11th-century thane of Lincolnshire, leader of resistance to the advancing Normans.
