I'm a proud Texan.
I know my state history.
I have visited the Alamo.
So I have always enjoyed the famous Davy Crockett quote ...
And I do love keeping my beer cold, so when I spotted this can coolie in a little gift shop in Chillicoathe, Texas, I found it quite tempting.
After all what better way to honor a true Lone Star hero who died while fighting for Texas's independence against Santa Ana's army ...
a man who stood his ground despite being outnumbered nearly ten to one ...
than with a beer holder declaring his bravado?
I turned it over to check the price and what did I find?
The man killed him a bear when he was only three, but 178 years later ... the Mexicans are still getting the last word.
