President GHW Bush “The Aggie War Hymn”

It was an incredible 2 days in Houston and College Station. But I wasn’t prepared to hear The Aggie War Hymn written by my cousin J.V. Pinky Wilson as President George H.W. Bush’s casket was carried from the train. It was beautiful... and very moving. Pinky was my maternal grandmothers 1st cousin. Texas A&M Class of 1920.

When you’re an Aggie, it’s till death.

I was a freshman at Texas A&M when this happened. It will always be ingrained in my memories.

As a Sooner, I’ve always had a ton of respect for Texas A&M. Watching this brought tears to my eyes. Such an amazing song, played so beautifully for such an amazing man. Well done to the Fighting Texas Aggie Band!

I love that he is laid to rest on campus his grave maker by a simple soldiers cross. What humble man

[loganboomer]

George will be honored from the ags for eternity

He was my Commander In Chief when I was in the US Air Force. Rest In Peace Mr. President. Love The Aggie War Hymn.

There have only been two occasions where hearing the Aggie War Hymn brought tears to my eyes. The first one was the Aggie Band tribute to the victims of the 1999 Aggie Bonfire collapse, and then this was the second. Rest in peace President Bush from the class of 2006.

Reminds me of when the Michigan Marching Band played The Victors for President Ford when he arrived in Grand Rapids to be laid to rest. Presidents never forget the colleges and teams they loved

I am Texas Tech faculty member and while I love the Aggie War Hymn, this took it to another level. Thank you.

Once an Aggie, always an Aggie till the day you die.

1:29 when bush jr looks away, that’s when you know that’s his poppa they’re carrying away. I was a junior when this happened. RIP, thanks and GIG EM👍

HW carried to his final resting place with a song whose central message is “Texas sucks”. What a legendary choice.
So glad A&M and Texas are back in the same conference so this rivalry can flourish once again.

Thank you for adding this clip...when I first saw it on the news, I found this music incredibly moving and searched for the song...It was a fitting moment for the return of GHW Bush 's casket to his home.

I grew up on the Texas A&M campus, and might be a new member to the fighting Texas Aggie class of ‘24. (At least i hope). I have a ton of respect for A&M. Great job Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band!!
