Today is San Jacinto Day, when Texas defeated Santa Ana’s Mexican Army to secure its independence from Mexico.

Also Texas A&M celebrates its Annual Aggie Muster in conjunction with San Jacinto Day


Long live the great state of Texas!

Yes one of the most important traditions at A&M.

Started in the 1870's by cadets on campus celebrating San Jacinto Day.
Then in the 1920's a roll call was read of those Aggies who had passed away.
In 1942 Aggies at Corregidor mustered on this day for Aggies know to be alive on the island.

“If there is an A&M man in one hundred miles of you, you are expected to get together, eat a little, sup a little, and live over the days you spent at the A&M College of Texas.”

Always happy to celebrate with my adopted Texans! (They adopted me in 1980.)
