Last night we had a very special guest stay with us. We were honored to host an active US Marine. It is always an privilege to meet those who are so sacrificially serving our country. Our most recent guest currently resides in Camp Lejeune, NC, with his wife and we want to thank Joseph and Kristen for their patriotism and commitment to our country.
Joseph and Kristen both attended Texas A&M, and Joseph was a member of the Corps of Cadets so I’m sure he visited the Sam Houston Sanders Corps of Cadets Center on campus. The Corps Center is located on the east side of the University Center Parking Garage and is open on Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and on special event weekends, such as game days and Parent's Weekend.
Since opening on November 2, 1992, the Sam Houston Sanders Corps of Cadets Center has allowed visitors to experience the Corps of Cadets through a museum that is home to thousands of Aggie artifacts and a library with over 3,000 military research volumes.
The Metzger-Sanders gun collection is the most famous exhibit. This collection is nationally known and continously used for historical research. And that exhibit is just one of more than 60 found at the Corps of Cadet center! Plus there are over 600 photographs and thousands of pieces of memorabilia are on display. In the midst of the memorabilia, there are exhibits dedicated to various university-wide traditions, including the 12th Man, Silver Taps and Muster, as well as some of the Corps' most cherished traditions, such as the Aggie Band, Final Review, Fish Drill Team, Parsons Mounted Cavalry and Ross Volunteers.
If you are interested in the military, the Corps, or just A&M in general, please pay a visit to the Sanders Corps of Cadets center.
Also, join me in thanking anyone you know or meet in the military for serving our country...
