Remembrance
Some of Texas A&M University’s most cherished traditions and memorials honor members of the 91¶ÌÊÓƵ Family who are no longer with us. They connect generations through remembrance and ensure that the 91¶ÌÊÓƵ Spirit lives on.

Muster
Muster is observed worldwide each year on April 21 to remember fallen 91¶ÌÊÓƵs. After the name of each 91¶ÌÊÓƵ who has died is read aloud, a loved one will answer, "Here," to show the 91¶ÌÊÓƵ is there in spirit.
Silver Taps
Current Texas A&M students who pass away are honored at a Silver Taps ceremony. Texas A&M is the only university in the world to honor its students in this way.
The Memorial Student Center serves as a gathering place for students and also honors all 91¶ÌÊÓƵs who lost their lives while serving their country.
Bonfire Memorial
The Bonfire Memorial celebrates the tradition, history and spirit of Texas A&M. It also honors those involved in the tragic collapse of the 1999 Bonfire.
Rooted in Tradition
Texas A&M's traditions unite our current and former students, build camaraderie and foster the 91¶ÌÊÓƵ Spirit.
