A Long Time Ago, in a Galaxy Far, Far Away... (well... actually, Texas in 1836) roughly two hundred colonists stood their ground against an entire army (the Mexican one, that is) and did so for almost two straight weeks, until every defender was killed. William Travis, James Bowie, and Davy Crockett were the three men who orchestrated their defense against the ensuing onslaught of Santa Anna and his men, and since then The Alamo note located in present day San Antonio has been a nationally revered moment of American bravery for the entire country, but especially the people of Texas, who tend to exaggerate the scale of the conflict. (What's not brought up as often is that they were also doing it so independent Texas could own slaves.note However, unlike, say the American Civil War, there were legitimately a lot of other issues prompting the revolution. Arguably the biggest was Texas's great distance from the capital Mexico City and the growing distrust of the Mexican government. Most of Mexico's northern territories attempted to secede at around the same time, but only Texas's revolution succeeded.) Trope-wise, "Remember the Alamo" is a Battle Cry that memorializes an enemy atrocity and is invoked to galvanize the civilian population into supporting the war effort. Historically, an alternate title might well be Remember the Maine! Subtrope of Shocking Defeat Legacy. |

The name of the Sons of Korhal resistance group in Starcraft recalls a planet nuked from orbit by the Confederacy they fight again. Their leader, Arcturus Mengsk, is quite fond of pointing out the millions of people killed in his speeches decrying the old regime. (To the point that one of his allies snidely asks if that's "a target number". It isn't — Mengsk has his sights set way higher.) | |

In The Expanse, the destruction of the Canterbury, apparently by Mars, spurs "Remember the Cant" a rallying cry that unifies the Outer Rim colonies against the Martian Congressional Republic. The destruction of the Canterbury was actually a False Flag Operation by the Protogen corporation to distract the Earth and Mars from their other illicit activities. | |

The Littlehorn Massacre served as a major contribution to the war between Zebras and Equestria in Fallout: Equestria. Littlehorn Valley was a plain located along the Zebra boarder to Equestria that Celestia wanted to build a School meant for her sister Princess Lunas' students to learn Magic at. The Massacre happened when a Zebra Refugee Convoy passed close to the newly-built school grounds and due to the rising tensions between the two nations at the time, the Equestrian faculty accidentally mistook the Refugees as insurgents and opened fire on them, in-retaliation a Zebra Commando that was accompanying the Refugee Convoy snuck into the schoolgrounds and unleashed a chemical weapon that killed the faculty and student body. Both sides saw this as Pretext for War, and made all the more worse when Celestia having felt guilt for building Luna's School at Littlehorn Valleynote There were in-fact two other locations she could have chosen, but after seeing that Littlehorn Valley had a Crescent Moon-like canyon wanted to play a joke on Luna by saying she was sending her sisters' Students "To The Moon". stepped down from power and gave Luna control over Equestria instead. Safe to say that by the time of Littlepips' Story, things only just got worse from there... | |

In The Dresden Files book Changes, when reinforcements show up at the climax to help out Harry, their leader calls for his men to "Remember Archangel!". It's Ebenezar, leading members of the Grey Council against the Red Court. Archangel is the name of the place where a particularly vicious battle between the White Council and the Red Court took place, resulting in devastating losses for the wizards, including one of the strongest wizards on the Council, member of the Senior Council, and expert on all things vampire all in the same man. | |

Discworld - Terry Pratchett translated it as "Remember the atrocities the enemy has done to us, for they will justify the atrocities we are about to commit today" In Discworld, it was usually "Remember Koom Valley!", in memory of a notorious ambush — the only battle in history where both sides ambushed each other. And it turns out even Koom Valley wasn't an example- it was originally a peace conference, but the fog caused both sides to declare someone was attacking them until the ground collapsed under them, trapping them underground. | |

In Fallout: New Vegas, the passcode to the secret Enclave bunker is "Dear Old Friend, Remember Navarro". This counts as a villainous example, though the Enclave Remnants were Punch Clock Villains at worst. A triumphant version of this is given in Fallout 4, as members of the Brotherhood of Steel will often say "Remember the Citadel!" during combat. |

In System Shock 2 "Remember Citadel", the setting of the first game, is daubed on the walls with blood. It's somewhat less of a battle cry and more of a warning that you can't trust Xerxes, the AI that controls the ship. Also an early indicator that SHODAN is the one really pulling the strings. |

One of the common rallying cries of the Third Street Saints in Saints Row 2 is "Take back the Row!", referencing their ousting from the eponymous Saints Row neighbourhood of Stilwater following the Downer Ending of Saints Row. Indeed, the Saints' original hood is occupied by the Ultor Corporation until the end of the game, and is only reclaimed in-between games two and three when the Saints merge with Ultor. | |

During the First Succession War of BattleTech's Back Story; the Draconis Combine had the Federated Suns on the brink of defeat. However when their ruler was assassinated by a Sun's sniper on the planet of Kentares IV (as a legitimate military target) his son and successor had 90% of the planet's population, roughly fifty two million people, executed in cold blood. The atrocity rallied the Federated Suns, who used "Remember Kentares!" as a Battle Cry, and cost the Combine its previous gains. When the Clans came calling, Clan Smoke Jaguar shocked everyone by dealing with the expected insurgency issues on one of their conquered planets by firing on the city with capital-grade spaceship weapons until it was nothing but a scorched crater, killing over a million civilians. This act prompted the rallying cries of "Remember Edo" and "Remember Turtle Bay" and eventually led to the Inner Sphere rallying together to crush Clan Smoke Jaguar for their barbarity. The punishing losses inflicted on the Clans (and suffered by Comstar) at the Battle of Tukayyid, and the 15 years' grace it bought the Inner Sphere, is why the call to "Remember Tukayyid" remains a thing. |

In James Blish's sci-fi Cities in Flight stories, it's "Remember Thor V!" V is the Roman numeral 5. Thor V is thus the fifth planet of the Thor system. The organization known as Interstellar Master Traders committed unspecified atrocities there. The rallying cry lasted for many decades, if not centuries, due to anti-agathic (anti-aging) drugs. Mayor Amalfi of New York City met up with IMT in another galaxy, whence they fled. He shouted this to panic their leaders into an ill-considered act. He's surprised when not only the leader of IMT blanches, but many of his guards as well. |

In an episode of Timeless, Flynn travels to 1836 to try to prevent the Trope Namer from being created by ensuring that the fight is a Curb-Stomp Battle of the Texans. He gets an audience with General Santa Anna and claims to have been sent by Queen Isabella II of Spain. He gives Santa Anna gold to fund his war effort, only asking that Santa Anna accelerate his timetable for the Alamo. Flynn wants the Mexican Army to storm the fort right away instead of besieging it for 13 days first and allowing the famous letter to be written and sent out. Flynn also sneaks into the fort and kills William Travis before he can pen the letter. Without the nearly two weeks of defiance (and additional defenders, who arrive later) and the letter, the Alamo would only be a footnote in history instead of a symbol of American defiance. Unfortunately, Santa Anna has his own ideas and orders that no quarter is to be given to anyone in the fort, including women and children. Flynn is vehemently against that, both because he lost his own wife and daughter and because such a slaughter would definitely make its way into the history books. Luckily, thanks to the protagonists, the women and children end up being saved, while Lucy is able to write a different letter that ends up having the same rousing effect. The Alamo still falls quickly, but the fight is remembered, and Santa Anna ends up being defeated in a matter of weeks by the US Army. | |

In Drowtales, the Sharen made a particularly brutal attack against the Sarghress town of Machike. During the battle, the Sharen used forbidden arts and broke their own empire's laws by enslaving neutral commoners. This act finally raised the feud between both clans to open war and created the Sarghress battle cry of "Remember Machike". | |

In A Thin Veneer, the Odd Name Out among the Gorn ships is the GCF Fires of Regulus, named after the incident that brought the Federation, Klingons and Gorn into the Earth-Minbari War. A group of Minbari destroyed the Federation's colony of Regulus, killing over twenty-five million sentients, including one of the leaders of the Gorn. | |

Also from David Weber is A Mighty Fortress, the fourth book of the Safehold series, in which a fleet buying time for what ships can get away uses "Remember King Haarahld" as its battle cry, in memorial of their late king's Heroic Sacrifice. The Republic of Siddarmark has "The Pikes of Kolstyr". A piece of music written in memory of an incident where the Desnarian army massacred 90% of a unit of surrendered soldiers (and crippled the remaining 10%), when the Siddarmark army plays it during battle it's a signal that they do not intend to take prisoners. |

In the Stargate Atlantis episode "The Gift", McKay grouses about the likelihood that they will survive The Siege by saying, "What was that we were supposed to all remember? Something important. Oh, yes, that's right — the Alamo!" The trope is being played with here, since McKay is reappropriating the original battle cry as a cautionary warning about the implausibility of surviving an overwhelming siege. | |

Cale of Looking for Group tried to use one of these as a rousing warcry: "For Gamlon!" Richard ruined his moment when he introduced a far more catchy warcry: "For pony!" Cale's warcry fits this trope; Richard's is about ponies. | |

Parodied in Pee-wee's Big Adventure: As Pee-wee Herman searches for his missing bike, he is told that the bike can be found in the Alamo's basement, but he is told there is no basement in the Alamo. Later, he tries to hide from a bully by disguising himself as a cowboy — and is promptly put in a rodeo, with the bull he is riding violently knocking him off so hard that he is knocked out. He is revived, but he has trouble remembering who he is or where he came from. Asked if he can remember anything at all, he says, "I remember... the Alamo." Everyone tending to him cheers. | |
