“Change in schedule. As I was eating breakfast this morning I found out that the ‘Travis Letter; Victory or Death'” has never been released into the public UNTIL TODAY! They are preparing a ceremony at the Alamo here in San Antonio, Texas with a ceremony. So, the The Emily Morgan Hotel \u201c a DoubleTree by Hilton is hosting me for one more night because this is too cool not to miss. Here is a description of what the letter is all about:<\/p>\n

The world famous “”Victory or Death”” letter was penned by Lt. Col. William Barrett Travis while besieged within the Alamo by the Mexican army in San Antonio de Bexar. The Travis letter is universally regarded as one of the most heroic letters ever written. Facing almost certain death, Travis vowed never to surrender or retreat and to “”die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Victory or Death.””<\/p>\n

Going to take photos from ceremony and see if I can even stream some of it, if you want to watch at 4pm CT (that is if I can figure it out by then).”<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"reddit\"<\/a>\"pinterest\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
