175th Anniversary of The Alamo, Celebration Commences Saturday March 5th


"The Alamo didn't get the $400,000 in sponsorships it needed to have Phil Collins and other major performers at a nationally televised concert. But the city “realized the importance of marking the 175th anniversary,” and has joined the Daughters of the Republic of Texas in coordinating the events, with help from a few private sponsors, Caridi said.

The Alamo is asking churches to ring their bells 189 times at 6 a.m. March 6, in memory of the known defenders who died in the predawn battle."

We were all looking forward to Phil Collin's performance and are wishing him a speedy recovery from a back injury...
