got it thx
What they are referring to is the battle at the Alamo which is in San Antonio TX. During this time a 100 Texas soldiers fought against approximately 1,500 Mexican soldiers. The did loose however after 10 DAYS, they had killed or injured more then 600 Mexican Soldiers. From then on it became a beacon of hope that the Texans were strong and would fight till the end. When troops started to loose hope they would shout to each other " Remember the Alamo". It was like saying remember that they never gave up that with so few they did much so imagine what we can do. It was a reminder to give it all you can and to never give up.

During this time Texas was not a part of the U.S. Texas was fighting for its independence from mexico. So because of that war, motivated by the Alamo, TEXAS became well Texas.
