Muster


So I thought I'd post about what is going on today in the booming metropolis of College Station!!

Today is Aggie Muster Day. Today is the day we remember the Aggies who have fallen in the last year. Muster is taking place tonight at Reed Arena at 7 p.m. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates will speaking this evening.

"We gather here to mark the day Aggies proudly stand. To honor those who've gone before to the promised land. Each name is called upon the roll, comrades answer "Here." Trumpets sound their sad good-bye to those we held so dear. All heads are bowed in silent pledge never to forget. While rifles fire their last salute echoes answer yet. To their mem'ry we'll be true; we will take their place. One for all and all for one ever in Thy grace. We'll meet again another day, reunion while we pray To ask Thy blessing on each one on this Muster day, Aggie Muster Day."

Mrs. Earl (Margaret) Rudder
