Happy San Jacinto Day!

April 21, 1836
General Sam Houston led 800 Texans against 1400 Mexicans. In the 15-20 minute battle the Texans killed 630, wounded 200, and took the remainder prisoner. We lost only 9, with 30 wounded.

We gained our vengeance for the Alamo and Goliad and we secured our freedom as a Sovereign Republic.
