5 On Friday - Remember The Alamo



Five on Friday is the creation of our friend Travis at Trav's Thoughts.  To join in, select five songs to display on your  blog and then sign in on Trav's location to share with others.

This date is connected to another Travis.  On February 24 in 1836 in San Antonio, Texas, Colonel William Travis issued a call for help on behalf of the texas troops defending the Alamo, an old Spanish mission under attack by the Mexican Army. The fort would fall to the Mexican Army on March 6 and a legend was born.
