San Jacinto Day!
San Jacinto Day in United States: San Jacinto Day is a day of state pride for many Texans in the United States on April 21 each year. It commemorates a battle between the Texas Army and Mexican forces about 25 miles from downtown Houston, Texas, on April 21, 1836. This became known as the Battle of San Jacinto and was a turning point for Texas' independence from Mexico.

Two of my relatives (Sadlers) fount at The Battle of San Jacinto.
That should have been "fought" not "fount" (sigh). I wish my fingers would obey my brain.
A proud heritage, balky fingers or not.
Thanks for the reminder. I celebrated by going to a toy show and the casino. Came out a winner both times.
Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!
