3-6 Date the Alamo fell 1836. This day should never pass without pausing to honor those men. Here is the list of those who fell. My family's name will be found among them. An Hispanic man once said in my presence that those men were "cowards" for not coming out from behind the walls to fight. You know, those supremely excellent men who stood and died in the presence of a much larger force. Cowards, he said. There was trouble. thealamo.org/remember/history/defenders/index.html
