2023 Falls County Aggie Muster

The Falls County A&M Club observed the 2023 Aggie Muster on Friday, April 21. Muster is celebrated on San Jacinto Day, April 21, throughout the world in over four hundred locations. 

Every Muster ceremony is the same. Texas Aggies pay their respects to all those who are absent because of death since the last Muster. The names of the honored dead are called from the Muster Roll and a friend of the deceased answers, “HERE,” symbolizing that their memory lives on in the hearts of Aggies everywhere. Falls County Aggies honored local and area Aggies that died during this past year. 

Those honored at the Falls County A&M Club Muster were Phillip Meuse’62, Norman Erskine’62, Paul Fitte’75, Sean McLaughlin’83, Nate Calloway’25, Roger Drews, a friend of A&M, and 1st. Lieutenant Louis V. Girard, who was killed in action in 1943. His remains were identified by DNA in 2022 and returned to his family for burial. Like many others, he left A&M to serve his country.
