On this day in 1836 a band of settlers from across Texas took charge of their own destiny and declared their solemn right to live in liberty free from tyranny. The valiant sacrifices of the Texians at the Alamo and elsewhere delivered freedom to the settlers of our young Republic sowing the seeds of independence that so powerfully characterizes our state today. Today as Texans we honor this unyielding commitment to freedom and the brave sacrifices made by our founders who came before us. Happy Independence Day and may God continue to Bless the great state of Texas."
