I've worked pretty hard on this video.

I didn't want to make just any video for this occasion.

I hope you like it.

Someone place this on Aggies Only please.

Very nicely done.

I did have the privilege of attending two bonfires with my Aggie wife early in our marriage. I must say, even as an outsider, I did enjoy myself tremendously. Our daughter will be a senior in high school next year and will go on to attend A&M. She has only heard about the experience and has seen pictures; but as many of you all will testify, it ain’t like being there in person. She is Aggie through-n-through.

Best of luck to the Aggies on Thanksgiving day. You know I will be pullin’ for you…

I never got the chance to see Bonfire, not showing in Aggieland until 2004.

Great work. Simple, thoughtful, respectful, artistic.

I was not blessed to know any of those who passed away or were injured, but the collapse remains one of the most profound tragedies in my life.

I never got to see Bonfire burn in person.

I was a High school junior in '99 when Bonfire fell. The week prior to the accident, my family and I had gone to the A&M campus for the first time to look into my going to school there. The stack was almost finished and I remember walking near it and how small it made me feel. It was quite a sight to behold for a young guy like me.

Just days later back in Austin where I grew up, I was waking up for a school day and my dad told me Bonfire had collapsed. We both knew that we couldn't go through our normal day that day. We loaded up in the car and drove to Aggieland to pay our respects and lend a hand where we could. My dad is a Texas graduate. It was on that day I knew I wanted to be a Texas Aggie.

Amidst all of the anguish, panick and greif, I saw people coming together like I had never seen before. That day touched my life and changed the course of where I am today. I thank God he made me a Texas Aggie.
