Erected in Memory of the Heroes who sacrificed their lives at the Alamo, March 6, 1836.
A plaque marks the spot where the bodies of the defenders were burned.(Heroes of the Alamo Centaph - San Antonio, Texas)
I've added the inscription in the image, as seen at the base of this monument..
F/10, 1/500th, ISO 800, 1D M3, 24-105mm @ 24mm handheld & heavy overcast, B&W conversion.
