A big happy birthday goes out to General Sam Houston and to Texas. General Sam Houston was born on this day in 1793. The Republic of Texas declared her independence from Mexico on this day in 1824.
I celebrated by heading up to the Texas Independence Day Festival with friends. Pictures can be seen here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2035140&l=29108&id=199305787
Happy birthday General Houston and Texas!
