#11 Silver Taps

Silver Taps is one of the most amazing traditions at Texas A&M. It is held the first Tuesday of every month at 10:30. It is a time that students and family members come together to honor current students that have died in the past month. There are no words spoken, only a 21 gun salute fired by the Ross Volunteers followed by the playing of Silver Taps. Although the circumstance of Silver Taps are extremely heartbreaking, it is important and humbling to be able to honor a fellow student in that manor. It is part of what makes A&M so amazing and the Aggie family such an amazing thing to be a part of. This takes place in the Academic Plaza. Silver Taps is a tradition that every Aggie should experience. It puts life in a perspective and helps us remember how important every day is that we have on this earth. Do not miss the chance to honor a fellow student, Aggie, or friend.
