With such a tragic week in our Nation, it is with a heavy heart I look upon flags flying "half mass" for the fallen at Virginia Tech. The tragedy is incomprehensible. At this site, I see the announcement to remember the Aggie Muster.
The "Muster" at Texas A&M is a long-standing tradition. According to the university website, "it is uniquely American, uniquely Texan and most certainly uniquely Aggie - a most fitting tradition for a uniquely American institution. Held each April 21 in approximately 320 locations around the world, Muster is one of Texas A&M's most solemn and visible traditions...In each of those locations, it is a time set aside to honor the memory of Aggies from that area who have died since the last Muster ceremony. No matter where Aggies are, whether they are as few as two or as many as the thousands, they come together each April for Muster."

If you want to join with me for remembering the fallen, IM me in SL.
