William B. Travis

And look, 189 men held the Alamo against Santa Ana's army for 13 days.

And let me just tell you, thank God William B. Travis was not counting on James Tallarico to show up for reinforcements during that time because he would have called in sick with the sniffles in the final battle of the Alamo.

That is what James Tallarico did here.

I want to go back to what they did.

But your state is known for some of the toughest men and strongest women in the nation.

I want to go see the Alamo.

I like the Alamo.

Uh, yes, sir.

You know, William Travis, William B. Travis' moment that the, I shall never surrender or retreat.

...

William Travis, who fought, who fought, fought the Alamo.

I wanna go see the Alamo.

[cheering] [clapping]

And that our nation... has ever produced legends like Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie, William Travis, who fought...
