Wikipedia says that the Battle of San Jacinto lasted only 18 minutes, but “the killing lasted for hours.” Yikes.
Anyway, we wish all of you a Happy San Jacinto Day! If you are wondering how you should honor the Texas heroes who secured our independence, let me suggest this: take an 18-minute nap.
They fought so that we can nap. Be grateful.
