Loyalty, Integrity, Excellence, Leadership, Selfless Service, and Respect

These values bond every Aggie and today you can join the movement and give back.

With only one day left until #GivingTuesday, we want to make sure you’ve marked your calendar for this national day of giving!

#GivingTuesday is a simple concept. Thursday, we give thanks. Then follows Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday. #GivingTuesday, is your day to give back.

So far the Club has raised $13,000 toward an endowed scholarship.  If every member of the Club (600) gives $20 to pay it forward we will reach our goal of endowing a scholarship to support a student from Maryland to attend Texas A&M.

Help us make it possible for another Aggie to reach Ring Day and to contribute to our world like all Aggies do.

Saturday Dec 12^th, Wreath laying at the Baltimore National Cemetery, 11:30AM, 5501 Frederick Ave, Catonsville, MD 21228

There is a scripted memorial ceremony that lasts about 30 minutes. After the scripted portion is completed, everyone moves to the section where the wreaths will be placed. Make sure you are dressed for the weather as we lay wreaths that day in the sun, snow, rain and freezing temps – just like the mail man! When we get to the placement portion of the event, there will be three staged photos for the event and I want to get one of us as a group.

Your support is needed as there are many gravesites at Baltimore National Cemetery; not only is it one of the oldest National cemeteries, it is also one of the largest with over 44,000 gravesites.  Unfortunately, they were only able to place the wreaths that had been purchased and that number has dwindled the last three years to where only 250 of our veterans were remembered last year.

Even if you are not attending, If you want to help us, please encourage your family, friends, co-workers to make a wreath purchase.  Click Here

Is there anyone out there that would like to work on developing a logo for the Texas A&M Club of Maryland?

There are some rules that must be met, that have been established by Texas A&M and are being enforced by the Association of Former Students.

We are looking for something that can be used on the website, letterhead, and t-shirts. So when it is seen everyone knows it is part of the Aggie Network, but it is also our Maryland club!

If you are interested in developing a logo, please email me at marylandamc@aggientework.com and I will get the rules to you.

The Muster Tradition

Century-old roots provide the basis for Muster as Aggies know it today. It has changed, yet the Spirit in which it was established remains the same. Since the founding of Texas A&M, every Aggie has lived and become a part of the Aggie Spirit. What we feel today is not just the camaraderie of fellow Aggies, it is the Spirit of hundreds of thousands of Aggies who have gone before us, and who will come after us. Muster is how that Spirit is remembered and celebrated, and it will always continue to unite Texas A&M and the Aggie family. A&M may change, but the Spirit never will.

In the Beginning…
Aggies gathered together on June 26, 1883, to live over again their college days, the victories and defeats won and lost upon the drill field and in the classroom. By April 21, 1903, this annual gathering evolved into a celebration of Texas Independence on San Jacinto Day. These early meetings included field games and banquets for Aggies to reflect and celebrate their memories of Aggieland. “Let every alumni answer a roll call,” wrote the Former Students. It was not until 1922, however, that April 21 became the official day of events for all Aggies; thus, the annual tradition of Muster was born. The March 1923 Texas Aggie urged, “If there is an A&M man in one hundred miles of you, you are expected to get together, eat a little, and live over the days you spent at the A&M College of Texas.”

Aggie Muster Day

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
