February 09, 2020 Commentary: Remembering What Must Not Be ForgottenBy Chris Salcedo I was approached and asked this question: “Does anyone remember the Alamo?” Being a Texas resident, but a transplant from California, I reluctantly said, “Yes.” I was pleased by how much I did know and admittedly quite embarrassed at what I didn’t. In Texas, they haven’t forgotten—but that’s because, for Texans, the Alamo isn’t just an old Spanish mission and a popular tourist attraction.
