San Jacinto Day !!!

As we all know Texas is the ONLY state in the union that has been a self sufficient and independent Republic. It’s no wonder we are as we are. On this day, in the mid afternoon of 1836, the Texian army took 18 minutes to defeat the Mexican army and insure the destiny of Texas in what was to be known as the battle of San Jacinto. Many great individuals died before the battle of San Jacinto to make Texas a republic. On that day only 9 Texians lost their lives on the field of battle. A fact Important to remember is that many of the “Texians” who fought in the Battle of Alamo as well as Goliad and San Jacinto were from Mexico. In 1840 the estimated population of Texas was 70,000 much like the population of League City today. TOGETHER they were able to reach a common goal and establish a Republic they could live and thrive in. God bless TEXAS !!
