Victory Awaits You.

(back):
This monument honors and perpetuates the memory of the brave Texas citizen volunteers who offered their lives and fortunes in the defense of the Confederate states of America during the war for southern independence throughout the New Mexico campaign of 1861-1862.

Marching from San Antonio Texas these men honorably served in the confederate army of New Mexico commanded by Brigadier General Henry Hopkins Sibley.

Lest we never forget the many hardships and sacrifices these soldiers and their families suffered in this campaign, they gave all to liberate our beloved Texas and southland during the momentous struggle in American history. Dedicated 24 February 2012 a.d.
