Visit the Vietnam Heroes Exhibit to see the 3, 417 dog tags honoring all Texas Veterans who died or were missing in action in Vietnam. Visit with our living historians about life in the field from WWI to Vietnam. Learn about the Gold Star Aggies from WWI to Dessert Storm. Walk through the Remembrance Crosses dedicated to the Gold Stars from the Brazos Valley. Join us on Sunday, May 26 as we hold a Memorial Day Commemoration starting at 2:45 PM ending with a 21 -gun salute using two 105 mm Howitzers. We hope you can join during our weekend of “Remembering the Fallen”.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them. “For the Fallen” by Laurence Binyon
