Eight Legendary Battle Cries-- Part 2: "Remember the Alamo"


5.  "Remember the Alamo"  Texans in the War for Independence against Mexico after the Alamo.  Vengeance.

6.  The Roman Barritus.    The Legions would usually marshal in silence, but once the enemy was encountered they launched a sound like stampeding elephants.  The late Roman Army's Barritus was a guttural sound borrowed from the Germanic tribes.  A harsh roar that built in volume.

7.  "Daus Hoc Vult"  "God Wills It."  The Crusaders used it.

8.  "Liberty or Death"--  American Revolution
