Davy Crockett and 40 Other Irish Heroes of The Alamo Remembered in Brand New Video From THE WILD GEESE IRISH SOLDIERS & HEROES

SAN ANTONIO, April 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- THE WILD GEESE IRISH SOLDIERS & HEROES celebrates San Antonio's Irish heroes in a brand new video. These include renowned American folk hero Davy Crockett and forty men of Irish descent who fought for freedom and liberty at The Battle of The Alamo.

San Antonio epitomizes a modern-day thread of The Wild Geese story and illustrates the fact that THE WILD GEESE IRISH SOLDIERS & HEROES brand and the experience of Irish people are one and the same.

San Antonio is over 4000 miles from Ireland, but a strong Irish community still flourishes there. As sponsors of a barge in the city's St. Patrick's Day parade, THE WILD GEESE IRISH SOLDIERS & HEROES joined San Antonio in festivities and interviewed the local community.

Now three times voted "BEST IRISH WHISKEY," THE WILD GEESE IRISH SOLDIERS & HEROES commemorates the story of The Wild Geese:

After their defeat at The Battle of The Boyne, Patrick Sarsfield and his followers left Ireland. In the hope and belief that this would be a temporary strategic exile they took the name The Wild Geese - birds that always return to their place of birth.

This parting, however, proved to be permanent.

But this story lives on.

This resonated with the Chairman of San Antonio's Gaelic Athletics club, Tyler Tully:

"There's always this calling for going back home ... it's almost mysterious, mystical.

"The Wild Geese definitely were exiles; they were forced to leave - they had to do that to survive. I think a lot of us that come from Irish descent can relate to that."

For the celebrations, THE WILD GEESE IRISH SOLDIERS & HEROES printed exclusive t-shirts, which have quickly become collectors' items and have helped to integrate this brand with San Antonio's Irish community.

Stay tuned for more videos from this event, which will include more interviews with key figures in San Antonio's Irish community. For more information, join THE WILD GEESE IRISH SOLDIERS & HEROES online.
