Military Monuments and Memorials of Washington, D.C. A "memorial" helps us remember. These memorials help us remember the brave men and women who serve our country.
The Alamo A legendary frontiersman named Davy Crockett became a fad with kids in the 1950s. He died at the battle of the Alamo, along with many, many others. The Alamo became a symbol of heroism and the struggle against great odds in the name of freedom. Today, older kids may know about Davy and the Alamo from a new film (2004 PG-13). Who is your "American idol?"
