Aggie Bonfire Memorial at Texas A&M

The Aggie Bonfire Memorial embodies many layers of meaning associated with the Aggie
Spirit—a deep sense of belonging, a strong spirit of teamwork and leadership and an
enduring sense of tradition that unites thousands. The Bonfire Memorial celebrates
the tradition, history and spirit of Texas A&M, and the dedication of those involved in
the tragic collapse of the 1999 Bonfire.

I was honored to light a candle and reply "Here" for Bryan Allan McClain at the San Antonio Muster in 2000. As a fellow Aggie and a fellow San Antonian, it was something I felt I had to do. We will never forget.

The great thing on gameday against TU 2009, was when the snare drummers had "We will remember 99" on the bottom of their drums coming out of the tunnel.

"And I was there at the stack on November 18th.

With logs on the ground I fell down on my knees.

But we would not forget the 12 that we lost.

So we carved their names right there on the rock." ~ We Bleed Maroon-Granger Smith
