ARMY, WHAT IS AGGIELAND TO YOU?
Aggieland means many different things to many
different people. To some it is the place they met their
lifetime friends and received their formal education,
to others it is the pJacfe they learned how to be a man
and to get along with their fellow man.
Although Aggieland may have a special meaning
for each Aggie, all have memories of yelling for that
Fightin’ Aggie Team as we beat T. U. or of singing The
Twelfth Man when we didn’t yell loud enough.
Army, when we go home after these finals let’s
throw our chests out and tell the world that we are proud
to be a Fightin’ Texas Aggie. Let’s keep alive the
heritage left to us by our buddies we’ve honored with
Silver Taps who are no longer able to share it with us.
