“Here are a few names to consider on this Memorial Day. Say them slowly, savor them and pronounce the round vowels, the rhythm of the syllables: Gen. Bernardo de Galvez, Capt. Jorge Farragut and Francisco de Miranda.

Juan Abamillo, Juan Antonio Badillo, Carlos Espalier, Gregorio Esparza, Antonio Fuentes, Calba Fugua and Jose Maria Guerrero were among the 183 Texan casualties of the Battle of the Alamo.”
