“I wanted to know why the defenders decided to stay in the
Alamo and fight, and if I, personally, would have had the courage to do the
same. I think most men wonder that.”
I was signing a book for a lady to take to her husband in
Florida and that was my reply when she asked how I became interested in the
Alamo.
Then tears came to her eyes as she said, “I understand. My husband is facing a similar decision in his
struggle against cancer and I am hoping this book helps convince him to fight
it”.
I had never considered it just that way, but now I
understand that many people believe the Alamo story is proof of the heroic nature of every
man, and that belief is inspiring courageous acts, all around us, every day.
