| Tom Green flag presentation at Battle of Medina |
Each year SAR members gather under large oak trees to honor all the men, on both sides, who participated in the Battle of Medina, which occurred on Aug. 18, 1813. This was the bloodiest battle ever fought on Texas soil, with between 800 and 1,300 men killed. In the photo above the memorial program is beginning with principal speaker Atascosa County Judge Robert Hurley welcoming attendees.
