All Texans know the San Jacinto Monument. It is the tallest column monument in the world. It is topped by a 220 ton, 34 foot tall Lone Star. This monument celebrates the surrender of Santa Anna, ending the Texas Revolution. This commemorates the birth of what was, and what still is, the greatest country in the world, Texas. It represents the great pride Native Texans have in our state. I love Texas, I love this monument, and I will never forget being there.
