Seguin Exhibit at San Jacinto
April 26, 2003
The Seguin Tent across the street from the San Jacinto Monument
Check out the scene behind the tent, don't miss the 6 Flags of Texas
Looking out from our tent to the left, notice how far the crowd extends.
Looking out to the right from our tent, the crowds were large and yet everyone was having a wonderful time.
If you look real close across the field you can see Santa Anna's red and white stripped tent.
Team Work - it pays!
At the end of the day, several of the family members that had been there most of the day had left.
The morning started out with a bang and stayed that way all day.
Everyone was so tired but they all agreed that it had been a wonderful and educational day.
Another positive step in the recognition of a Native Born Hero, Col. Juan N. Seguin.

Be A Part of History
Join in the "Historic Effort" to have a U.S. Postal Commemorative Stamp issued in honor of Col. Juan N. Seguin.
Since 1995 and in subsequent years, The Seguin Family Historical Society has been instrumental in promoting and requesting this historic stamp.
However, let it be public knowledge that in 1981, The Juan N. Seguin Stamp Club in Seguin Texas sponsored the very first petition under the direction of Chairman, Mr. W.F. Kraushaar.
As you can see, the idea and desire in this historic endeavor has not weaned.
Please sign the petition at the following link and forward the link to your family and friends - Thank you:
