How about Remember the Alamo money-bomb
Hi, actually I was thinking the same thing. Besides just remember the Alamo I was thinking 189forTexas.com to remember the speech to the remaining Patriots as well.
Alamo Heroes Appear Foolish Today
by Chuck Baldwin, March 07, 2006
"Liberty" is an easy word to say, but it is a hard word to live up to. Freedom has little to do with financial gain or personal pleasure. Accompanying freedom is her constant and unattractive companion, "Responsibility." Neither is she an only child. "Patriotism" and "Morality" are her sisters. They are inseparable; destroy one and all will die.
Early in the siege, Travis wrote these words to the people of Texas: "Fellow Citizens & Compatriots: I am besieged by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna. The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise the garrison are to be put to the sword. I have answered the demand with a cannon shot & our flag still waves proudly from the walls. I shall never surrender or retreat. VICTORY OR DEATH! P.S. The Lord is on our side."

Remember the Alamo
Eight hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die
By a line that he drew with his sword as the battle drew nigh
A man that crossed over the line was for glory
And he that was left better fly
And over the line crossed one hundred and seventy nine
Hey Up Santa Anna, they're killing your soldiers below
So the rest of Texas will know
And remember the Alamo
Jim Bowie lay dying, the blood and the sweat in his eyes
But his knife at the ready to take him a few in reply
Young Davy Crocket lay laughing and dying
The blood and the sweat in his eyes
For Texas and freedom a man was more willing to die
Hey Up Santa Anna, they're killing your soldiers below
So the rest of Texas will know
And remember the Alamo
A courier came to a battle once bloody and loud
And found only skin and bones where he once left a crowd
Fear not little darling of dying
If this world be sovereign and free
For we'll fight to the last for as long as liberty be
Hey Up Santa Anna, they're killing your soldiers below
So the rest of Texas will know
And remember the Alamo
These people knew what they were doing when they decided to fight against all odds. They knew before they even started that they were going to die. But they died with "their boots on", so that the rest of us could live in a country of liberty and peace. They died for us, and they did so with their heads high... They didn't save their country or the world, but they did their part. Little known is that the 189 men (not 179 as mentioned in the song above) who fought for Texas and freedom all died, BUT those 189 men managed to kill 1,600 enemies before they were defeated.
...
On the surface, the Battle of Alamo is about Texas and freedom, but it is also about freedom and human rights on a domestic and global scale. The difference between those who "crossed the line" and were willing to fight until death drove them apart, and those who decided to fly, is not necessarily that the ones who withdrew were all cowards. They had priorities; many of them had family and children, of course, and other things valuable to them in life. No, the difference was that those who stayed and fought until the end were those with the broader vision, who could see beyond their own significance and their immediate lives, and were willing to sacrifice themselves for this higher goal. They knew they would not win the battle, but they hoped that what they did for freedom would live on and stay in people's minds for generations to come.
Look at some of these videos I found.
