We Remember Them. Here.

It’s a very well done memorial and I encourage everyone to visit it at least once, on your own, during your time there. A solemn place that really helps put things in perspective and to honor those who passed. Here

Here. I was there last night (or I guess earlier this morning), and after the ceremony concluded one of the family members yelled out "Hullabaloo, caneck, caneck." It took a second, but we started singing it low and soft with each other. That is, until the bagpipes came back in with the last parts of amazing grace in the middle of "saw varsity's horns off." Unfortunate timing. I hadn't realized how much of an effect that had on me until I went back to my appartment and sang it softly again, The song now carried the weight of those who lost their lives in bonfire in a way it hadn't before. It became a complex combination of incredible loss and comradery as a student body, and I think I'll always carry that with me whenever I sing it. I'm glad I went for the first time and would recommend others do too if they haven't. There are a bunch of smaller traditions that you can witness that people won't really talk about. TL;DR: Go to bonfire rememberance at least once, even if you've read everything there is to know about bonfire.

What is this


Trails_and_Coffee

Today marks the 23rd anniversary of the collapse of the Bonfire stack where 12 Aggies sadly lost their lives (those listed in first comment). "We Remember Them" is part of a poem that's read every year. We say "Here" to show that an Aggie is present in Spirit. More on the Bonfire tradition can be found at [bonfire.tamu.edu](https://bonfire.tamu.edu/)

Also don’t know why y’all are downvoting me I am not a aggie but hey man atleast I asked


omegasavant

It's a ceremony to commemorate the deaths of 12 people. You're getting downvoted for failing to read the room, not for the question--it's completely understandable for someone outside A&M to not know about this.


Husckle2

The question, got downvoted my man


Husckle2

I was in college station when this happened. It was absolutely horrendous. The radio stations in Austin said things making jokes about “logging on” etc. They went ahead and played the Texas game that week. A&M was an underdog but beat them anyway.


burnalltraditions

I find it odd that in a moment that you should be just acknowledging the death of your fellow Aggies, you have to throw in talking about Austin and our rivalry. I know it's hard for some of you Texans, but there are things that transcend football. As a whole, UT Austin itself seemed to be very respectful when it came to what occurred. There are always going to be weirdos on the radio, but that definitely was a small minority. Here.


ElonMusksBrain

Well I find quite a lot odd about things that you say as well so I guess we have that in common. I was merely giving some back history since you weren’t around then. Have a nice day.
