A friend of mine tells me that every time he has visited the alamo, there is a lady "on duty" there. I believe the organization is Daughters of the Republic of Texas??
On one visit, he said a young man got a bit raucos inside the building. The little gray haired lady put down her knitting, left her chair, walked up to him, and said:
"Sir, in Texas we consider the Alamo a shrine to those who died defending it, and you should conduct yourself accordingly."

Rightly so.
