Remembering

   The sun is up now and the guns are quiet and the only sounds to be heard now are the moans of the wounded,and the crackling of the pyre burning as the rebels are being cremated. The Mexican soldiers seem to be moving as if in a trance as the toss the bodies unceremoniously into the fire. It had been a brief albeit savage battle with no quarter asked and none given. 
     Santa Anna had decided to erase all traces of the rebels by cremating them and scattering their ashes, yet he wanted the Texians to know and remember what happens to rebels and those who would defy the Central Government.  What he didn't realize were those ashes were seeds. Seeds that would grow into a nation that would would one day become a state in a country that would become a light for freedom for peoples all over the world. Those seeds grew into a people called Texans that are fiercely proud and independent, loyal and friendly. Those people, The citizens of Texas have made their state an example of what determination and hard work can accomplish.
 So on this Sunday morning, let us remember, along with the defenders, our forefathers and all the people who helped to make this state what it was and is today: TEXAS!
