6.I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna I have sustained a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken I have answered the demand with a cannon-shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls I shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days.

1.The best quote in my opinion is “It is the Soldier” written by an US Army Veteran, the line is popular worldwide. It was originally written by Charles Michael Province, U.S. Army.
However the lines are often attributed to Fr. Dennis Edward O’Brien but actually it was a mistake,Fr. Dennis Edward O’Brien sent this poem to Dear Abbey and by mistake he attributed the poem to him but Fr. Dennis Edward O’Brien always said that he had not written these lines.
Lines Written By Charles M. Province-
It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the Soldier, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer
Who has given us freedom to protest.
It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.
It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.
