Happy San Jacinto Day!

Also today Aggies all over the world today are observing the Aggie Muster even here at Camp Taji.

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.
