Pickett ‘94 - President of the 2021 Board of Directors MUSTER ADDRESS Dion McInnis ‘03 ROLL CALL FOR THE ABSENT ROLL CALL IN MEMORIAM TAPS THE LAST CORPS TRIP THE MUSTER CLOSING MUSTER SPEAKER – Dion McInnis ‘03

Dion McInnis was an Agriculture Leadership and Development major and is a member of the Aggie Class of 2003. Dion was "Head Stack" of the first off-campus Bonfire Stacks in 2003 & 2004. With that perspective, he has seen that the "flame of love that every loyal Aggie carries in their heart for the school" remains truly undying.

Today he is dedicated to sharing that message, in his role as a member of Student Bonfire's Board of Directors, and as a photographer. His work and words have been found in TexAgs productions, Magazine, Texas Aggie magazine, and ESPN. Through his images, Bonfire has been seen millions of times, and he has stories behind every frame. As a director, Dion advises Bonfire's motivated Aggies on leadership, leadership development, institutional advancement, and communications.

Professionally, Dion has operated a consultancy in software development and solutions architecture, and is now found in Product Strategy & Communication for the Texas A&M Division of Information Technology.

Dion and his wife Candice '05 continue to call Aggieland home today with their four motivated children (and one motivated dog, ACe). Roll Call for the Absent In many lands and climes, this April day Proud sons of Texas A & M unite. Our loyalty to country, school, we pay, And seal our pact with bond of common might.

We live again those happy days of yore, On campus, field, in classroom, hall, at drill. Fond memory brings a sigh--but nothing more: Now we are men, and life is one great thrill!

On fortress isle seventy-seven years ago today, A group of gallant Aggies, led by Moore, Held simple rites which to us all doth say: The spirit shall prevail o'er cannon roar!

They thought of home and all we hold most dear: Where are they now--those boys we knew so well? Ask of the winds, let smile repress a tear, Think only of their glory when they fell!

Corregidor! forever more a hallowed name To countless sons of Texans yet unborn; Symbolic like, it stands for deathless fame: A shrine sublime till Resurrection morn!

Softly call the muster, Let comrade answer, “Here!” Their spirits hover ‘round us: As if to bring us cheer! Mark them "present" in our hearts, We’ll meet some other day. There is no Death, but Life Eterne For heroes such as they!

- Dr. John Ashton ‘06 Roll Call In the Roll Call ceremony, we honor the memory of fellow A&M men and women whose death prevents their answering Roll Call at this annual Muster. The Roll is a symbolic Roll Call of all students and former students whom death has taken from our ranks, but whose memory lives on in our hearts. As each name is called, a comrade will answer “Here!”

We stood a little taller, and a little prouder then When we heard the call of Muster and the Roll Call just begin. We stood there all together and wiped away the tears When our names were called out softly and answered with a “Here!” ... and so we’ve joined together with our brothers of the past To make our final resting place at Aggieland our last. We take a toast to our brotherhood wherever they may roam, For us the trek is over Aggieland we’re coming home.

- Lt. Col. David Harrigan ‘68 THE LAST CORPS TRIP

It was Judgment Day in Aggieland And tenseness filled the air; “Why, sir, that’s the Cadet Corps All knew there was a trip at hand, That’s known both far and wide But not a soul knew where. For backing up their fighting team Whether they won, lost or tied.” Assembled on the drill field Was the world-renowned Twelfth Man, “Well, then,” said St. Peter, The entire fighting Aggie team “It’s very plain to me And the famous Aggie Band. That within the realms of Heaven They should spend eternity. And out in front with Royal Guard The reviewing party stood; And have the Texas Aggie Band St. Peter and his angel staff At once commence to play Were choosing bad from good. For their fates too we must decide Upon this crucial day.” First he surveyed the Aggie team And in terms of an angel swore, And the drum major so hearing “By Jove, I do believe I’ve seen Slowly raised his hand This gallant group before. And said, “Boys, let’s play The Spirit For the last time in Aggieland.” I’ve seen them play since way back when, And the band poured forth the anthem And they’ve always had the grit; In notes both bright and clear I’ve seen ‘em lose and I’ve seen ‘em win, And ten thousand Aggie voices But I’ve never seen ‘em quit. Sang the song they hold so dear.

No need for us to tarry here And when the band had finished, Deciding upon their fates; St. Peter wiped his eyes Tis plain as the halo on my head And said, “It’s not so hard to see That they’ve opened Heaven’s gates.” They’re meant for Paradise.”

And when the Twelfth Man heard this, And the colonel of the Cadet Corps said They let out a mighty yell As he stiffly took his stand, That echoed clear to Heaven “It’s just another Corps Trip, boys, and shook the gates of Hell. We’ll march in behind the band.”

“And what group is this upon the side,” - P.H. DuVal, Jr.'51 St. Peter asked his aide, “That swelled as if to burst with pride When we our judgment made?” The Muster is dismissed until the 21st of April 2022, and may God be with us all until we meet again.
