re: If it wasn’t for the Volunteers, it would be the University of Mexico and Mexico A&M.

As Texans, we are forever grateful for the brave men from Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana and the other states and nations that came and fought and died for our independence from Mexico. The flags from all those states who sent Volunteers have places of honor and respect within the walls of the Alamo church. Our cities, counties, roadways, and some colleges are named after them. We will always revere them.
