An indispensable Texan remembered...

on Memorial Day.
General Sam Houston


Andrew Jackson said it well-

"The world will take care of Houston's fame."

Thanks Aaron.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

My pleasure.  Your post reminded me that I need to take the kiddos to the statue this summer!

When you do Aaron you will only be five minutes from his grave which I would strongly recommend visiting.

You will also only be five minutes from my house which I insist you visit.

Andrew Jackson couldn't carry Sam Houston's jock strap.

He was pretty stout in the War of 1812.
