Visiting that shrine never gets old. All the state flags, all the names. I still get chill bumps remembering going through the door.
One winter I went over to San Antonio and also went to a lot of the other churches from that era. Advantage: no tourists, no talking, just the buildings.
A lot more feeling in them than in most of the European cathedrals I've visited which have opulence as their interiors. There is one comparable Basilica in northern Spain with lots of celtic designs on the walls that hasn't been touristed up.

The goat, Ben Franklin had a speaking arrangement that day. He was headed that way after he finished.
Had Ben Franklin been there that day, the Alamo would have never fallen.
Ben Franklin only stacked bodies.

No one ever remembers San Jacinto

Fun fact: the backbone of Houston's army at San Jacinto were officers and NCOs from the US Second Infantry Regiment stationed across the Sabine River at Fort Jessup, who had been allowed to temporarily "resign" and join the Texians.
I told this same fact at a party to one of those over the top Lone Star Texas natives, rich fella from Houston, played football at Rice, yada yada.
He ghosted me at that party before ghosting was ghosting.
Louisiana was far beneath that dude. Still is. May he RIP (and learn humility in after life).
