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
Yesterday and today...Aggies around the world are celebrating one of Texas A&M University's oldest and most revered traditions, Aggie Muster an annual celebration of the Aggie Spirit, as well as a time to honor Aggies who have passed away in the last year. More than 300 Muster ceremonies are being held throughout Texas, the United States of America, and around the world. And just as in the original Muster quote from a Texas Aggie Magazine in 1923, The Association of Former Students AND Dallas A&M Club again encourage you that if there is an Aggie within one hundred miles...to get together, eat a little, drink a little, and live over the days you spent at Texas A&M. Scroll down for details on the 2019 Dallas Aggie Muster.
Please join us for one of Texas A&M's most treasured traditions as our distinguished guest speaker, Porter Garner '79, addresses local-area Aggies, family, and friends.
