“I happen to think that there
is not a more important role
that we have as a state govern
ment than making an educa
tion for every child who has a
willing heart and a futile mind
to have the same opportunities
as you do today,” Perry said.
Perry told the primarily stu
dent audience that although
they may not put on a uniform,
they can still help their country
in its time of need.
“All of us have a moral
responsibility and personal
responsibility to do everything
we can,” Perry said. “I know
not everyone is going to put on
a uniform or serve our country
in the military but [Texas
A&M| teaches you about giv
ing back to your country and
giving back to your state.”
Perry, class of 1972, said he
knew that Aggies will respond

“Our nation is on the brink of war, and Texas
A&M will answer the call,” Perry said.
Speaking about the recent terrorist attacks, he
said, “the cause of evil has wounded this land.
They can tear down buildings but never our will."
Perry described the cadets who have served the
United States as “heroes of challenges past," who
“endured the unthinkable so others could enjoy
freedom.”
He said that America will meet its newest chal
lenge of terrorism, and that “our heart of freedom
is stronger than any challenge.”
While he praised the cadets, he also warned
them of “overzealous patriotism and boasting,”
and said that soldiers are not made by boasting but
by “silent strength.”
He also said that the young men and women in
the Corps may be the ones called on to overcome
those opposed to freedom and that he was proud to
be in their presence.
Perry' presented a certificate to Joe Dicke:
Corps commander and a senior geography in
proclaiming Sept. 2J as Corps of Cadets D.
the state of Texas.
Russell Hurst, a sophomore general sti
major and member of the Corps, said
Governor's presentation was inspiring.
“It was good because he made it really pa
ic and brought light to the Corps and theirac
plishments,” Hurst said.
He added that all of the events of thew«
celebration were successful.
