Aggie Muster

One reason I love the school I went to. Rooted in deep tradition was Aggie Muster at Texas A&M University. On the 21st of April every year, aggies from all over the world gather locally to have a roll call of fallen Aggies from the past year. It's an opportunity for people to grieve and celebrate the lives of those that have past. I can say with deep conviction that if it were not for the traditions at my school, I wouldnt be in the military today.

Softly call the Muster,

Let comrade answer, “Here!”

Their spirits hover ‘round us

As if to bring us cheer!

Mark them ‘present’ in our hearts.

We’ll meet some other day

There is no death, but life etern

For our old friends such as they!
