Holidays Calendar explains #Texas Independence Day (it's still 'a State of the U.S.A.'; I haven't gotten `round to 'actually reading' what "independence" they declared) in a report accessed 'the bold hyperlink(s)' below; but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)
The word “Texas (where we get #Tex #Tejano #Texican #TexasLeaguer (a baseball hit over the heads of infielders but too short for outfielders to catch))” is built on ancient Caddo (Texas-Native) words that mean "Friends, Allies."

It 'thrills me' a little that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday' ...

This Day's Birthday-Cohort

Astrologically, their sign is Pisces ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Desi Arnaz, Daniel Craig, Karen Carpenter, Dr. Seuss, Rebel Wilson, Mikhail Gorbachev, Jon Bon Jovi, Sam Houston, Method Man, journalist Matt Taibbi, Gates McFadden (Dr. Beverly Crusher on STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION), Pope Pius XII, journalist Tom Wolfe, Pope Leo XIII, Lou Reed (with The Velvet Underground, "Walk on the Wild Side")

... and many others (most of whom are at the 'Birthday-Cohort' link)---

you might comment telling why we should recognize a special one I missed ...

Or maybe you'd like a reminder of 'where you've seen one of the ones we DO mention'; Ask in your comment!

My Heart of the Nation calendar (which tells me which celebrations we (Catholics) are celebrating, and which color Vestments the clergy are wearing) tells us that this day's Ash Wednesday (Violet ... in 2022).
