A Day of Remembrance
One hundred and seventy seven years ago, we had a little dust-up here, that you may have heard of. It didn't end well, but it got a lot better latter on.
So I went down to the big city and headed downtown to see what the commotion was all about.

I also saw this:

(For those that don't know, that's Texan for Molon Labe)
So I'm ending the day with the Duke and his picture show from 1959. I'm enjoying a fine Hoyo De Monterrey and a glass of Rebecca Creek Whiskey in honor of those great heroes.
I thank God that in times of need, Men of Strong Character are there to stand in the breach.
