History On March 1, 1929, during the Daughters of the Republic of Texas Convention, a motion was made and passed that the DRT sponsor a junior organization to be known as the “Children of the Republic of Texas”. The first CRT chapter organized was the Alamo Mission Chapter in San Antonio, with 34 members. Motto “Not for self, but for Texas!” Flower Indian Paintbrush Colors Red and Green CRT Flag In 1994, then President General conducted a CRT Official Flag Contest and the Board of Management adopted the flag during their meeting held prior to the annual CRT Convention. During his tenure as 2006-2007 Custodian General Reed Denton conducted a fundraiser for his officer’s general project and had the flag commissioned. 7 Pledges United States Flag “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United State of American, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.” Texas Flag “Honor the Texas Flag, I pledge allegiance to the thee, Texas, one state under God, one and indivisible.” CRT Flag "Honor the Children of the Republic of Texas Flag, I pledge to encourage, preserve, and cherish Texas History." State Song Texas, our Texas! All hail the mighty state. Texas, our Texas! So wonderful, so great! Boldest and grandest withstanding ev’ry test, O Empire wide and glorious, you stand supremely blest. Chorus: God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong, that you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long. God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong, that you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long. Copyright MCMXXV. History of Our State Song The late William Marsh and Gladys Yoakum Wright wrote the lyrics and William J. Marsh wrote the music. This song was the winner of a state song contest sponsored by the legislature and adopted in 1929. The wording changed once shortly after Alaska became a state in 1959, Mr. Marsh changed the word “largest” in the third line to “boldest”. 8 TEXAS HONOR AND MEMORIAL DAYS September 17 – Texian Navy Day Texian Navy Day honors the courage and determination of the small Texian Navy who, by 1842 had helped secure the Gulf of Mexico and protect Texas independence on the sea. It also pays tribute to the 1832 Battle of Velasco, when Texian Volunteers on sea and land fought an early skirmish for their rights.
