Corps Units Take Part In Inauguration
Three units of the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets participated in the 2015 Texas Inauguration for Governor Greg Abbott and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick in Austin, Tuesday (Jan. 20).
The Inaugural Parade down Congress Avenue include the Aggie Band – the largest military marching band in the United States – the Ross Volunteers and Parsons Mounted Cavalry.
In addition to marching in the parade, the Ross Volunteers also provided a saber arch at the Oath of Office Ceremony to be held on the south steps of the Texas State Capitol.
“The Corps of Cadets is extremely honored to take part in such a momentous occasion for our state,” said Brig. Gen. Joe E. Ramirez, Jr. ’79, Commandant of the Corps. “Our university and our Corps have always been proud to support our Governor’s Inaugural celebration, and are excited to participate again in this year’s event. Governor Greg Abbott can rest assured that the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets are honored to participate in his Inauguration and representing Texas A&M at all of the inaugural events.”
