This'll make it easier to remember the Alamo.
Two teenagers, identified by police as active duty soldiers at nearby Fort Sam Houston, were arrested Sunday evening for having sex at the Alamo.
A police report says the 18 year old woman and 19 year old man, both assigned to an Army medical batallion, were naked from the waist down when tourists spotted them having sex in an area of the Alamo which is open to tourists. Several visitors reported seeing the activity and reported it to police.
The pair was charged with public lewdness, a misdemeanor.
"This is sacred ground," Alamo Director David Stewart told 1200 WOAI news. "It's kind of like doing it in a church."
The Alamo, which is located in the heart of downtown San Antonio, is the most popular tourist attraction in Texas.
Because of it's status as an American icon the Alamo frequently attracts people seeking attention. In the sixties and seventies, Communist and anarchist groups raised red flags over the Alamo. Despite rigorous efforts to discourage commercial or political activity by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, the private group that owns the Alamo, politicians flock to the 18th century Spanish mission. In the mid nineties a man tried to set the Alamo on fire by splashing fuel on the building's ornate doors and tossing a match on it.
Perhaps the most infamous example of Alamo exploitation occurred in the 1980's, when shock rocker Ozzy Osbourne urinated on the Centotaph, a monument to the men who were killed at the Battle of the Alamo which was erected in front of the building in 1936 to make the battle's centenary. The incident got Osbourne barred from performing in San Antonio for two decades.
Officials said last night's incident did not disrupt activity at the Alamo, which attracts several million visitors per year.
Damnit, I so wanted to be the one to first post this! Grrrrrrrrr!
You still may have a "shot" Useruser666. Did they actually finish?I doubt it if they were caught.
Just glad they weren't Air Force medics from Wilford Hall!!!
