Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat
Greetings, everyone. As I write this, it is Saturday morning, March 6th, and I am in San Antonio staying at the Hotel Gibbs. I arrived in San Antonio at 1 AM after speaking at a Veterans Memorial event in Murphy, Texas. My room is on the 6th floor, in the corner, overlooking The Alamo battlefield. I was truly tired upon getting into my room, but I opened up the curtains and looked down upon the Alamo in the city lights, and the aforementioned Latin quote came to mind, “Fortune Favors the Bold.”
There have been many different attributions of this quote, including Alexander the Great. However, when one considers those words, and this day, it embodies the defenders of The Alamo, led by a 26-year-old, Lt. Col. William Barret Travis.
