   On this date 190 years ago, the Mexican army at San Antonio under   
   Generalisso Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna attacked a force of fewer than 200   
   Texians in the Alamo. All of the defenders and up to a thousand Mexican   
   soldiers were killed. During the 13-day siege that preceded the battle,   
   the Texian commander, Lt. Colonel William Barret Travis, sent out multiple   
   appeals for aid. Forty-six days later, the Texian army, inspired by   
   Travis's appeals and their brothers' sacrifice, defeated Santa Anna at the   
   Battle of San Jacinto. The Texians' battle cry: "Remember the Alamo!"
