We agree. I just think that continued bombing would have helped SV after we left. Kennedy should have headed Ike's advise to stay out of Vietnam.

Effective today, I'm going to be concluding my posts regarding our Aggie war heroes and the history found in the Longhorns, Aggielands and The Battalion.

This journey really began for me years ago, flipping through my father's 1957 and 1958 Aggielands. I spent so many hours reliving the legends of Bear Bryant and John David Crow, the elegance of Vanity Fair, and the unmatched spirit of the Bonfire. To me, those pages weren't just old photos; they were history of the A&M College.

My class occupies a unique spot in history, as I feel a closer kinship with the Class of 1947 than I do with the Class of 2027. I was part of an era where we still had the privilege of walking alongside the men of the '40s through the '70s. They would come visit us at Dorm 9 and 11, and we would catch up at A&M Club meetings and band reunions.

I've reached a point where I feel it's best to close those yearbooks and let these stories rest. It has been an honor to share this heritage and keep the spirit of those Aggies alive for a little while longer.

Thank you for all of the time and effort you put into this research project to share with all of us.

I am from a similar time frame, Class of '89, but was not in the Corps, so my interaction with these older Ags was limited. Your posts have given me a deeper insight into A&M's history and for those who came before me to make the University what it would become.
