**NCB** , You know, I visited The Alamo while stationed at Lackland AFB in 1970, and from looking at that place I’m wondering if there wasn’t at least _one_ guy there who said, "Fuck _this_ shit! I’m _outta_ here!!! Not to hurt any Texans’ feelings, of course. I know and appreciate it’s a matter of pride with y’all and I respect that. **Six Ate** , be sure to let me know if they groan after you tell it! :)🙂 Thanks Q ---

Alamo is merely a state symbol for me (National, actually, to any true Texan), but I feel no religious type awe towards it. When I first saw it on a school field trip all I could think was “Was an awful last few days those guys had.” You know why Santa Ana brought 6000 Mexicans to the Alamo? He only had two pick up trucks. ---

All jokes aside, I totally understand that those few brave patriots were sending a message, and I think it got through. A close comparison would be Flight 93 on 9/11. I sometimes look for the humorous side of things and I get myself miscued a lot. But yeah… don’t you have to _wonder_ if one of those guys sobered up the next morning and wondered what he agreed to the day before? Good one, **NCB**! 🙂 Q ---

Not what you might first think. It’s not about someone leaving the Alamo.

_Very_ nice cite, **NoClueBoy** and the fact that you thought enough to provide it here belies your nickname! 🙂 I have loved “The Yellow Rose of Texas” (Mitch Miller, right?) for years, but never knew it was about Emily West Morgan. What great substance for a film! Thanks very much! I enjoyed the read a lot! ---

Forgot to mention Henry Warnell! Could be a comical character for the story of Emily West Morgan! Light skinned, red-haired and an incessant tobacco chewer! Every woman’s dream! 🙂 Jesus! I wish Hollywood would pay for ideas. Q ---
