Because the Alamo was the event which most angered the people of Texas, and brought them together. At the Alamo, a small number of Texans (as well as men from other states) were holding out against an attack from a much larger force.
Since they eventually lost the battle, but refused to run or surrender and were killed to the last man, the rest of Texas perceived them as heroes who should be avenged. Though "vengeance" is probably not the primary reason for the conflicts taking place, the desire for "getting back" at those who killed the outnumbered "heroes" certainly helped.
Texans began shouting "remember the Alamo" as their battle-cry because they were unified by that event, and because they had some pay-back to dole out. It also meant "take no prisoners".
General Santa Anna of Mexico slaughtered 182 Texas rebels at the Battle of the Alamo during the war for Texas independence, including several who surrendered and were summarily executed.
The rest of the Texas rebel army was infuriated by the treatment of the survivors and used that as a rallying cry during the subsequent battles. Additionally, Texas general Sam Houston wanted his soldiers to be aware of what their fate might be if they lost to the Mexicans.

"REMEBER THE ALAMO" and "REMEMBER GOLIAD"
The Alamo and goliad were to events that inspired Texans to keep fighting for their independence.
Houston was constantly recruiting men as he was keeping one step ahead of Santa Anna. Texans rallied in greater numbers after their fellow Texans were massacred at the Alamo and at Goliad. Houston finally turned on the Mexicans, defeating them in only 18 minutes at San Jacinto. In exchange for his life, Santa Anna deeded all rights to Texas to the Texans.
