38 hours of close combat fighting and 48 hours of escape and evasion. This wasn't a short fight, but a saga of perseverance!

Ladies and gentlemen, this is what a hero looks like.

You can hear the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band salute the Command Sergeant Major Adkins @ 0:15 . Texas A&M's Corps of Cadets have played a MASSIVE role in the military history of the United States and it's no surprise that the band felt it necessary to salute this man with that recognizable jingle.

Loved every minute of this. I was there with my GF. I was a "neutral" fan (Roll Tide!!!) Ended up seeing a great game, and got to see many heroes honored. Every time A&M babe would play that familiar tune. Auburn and Texas A&Ms respect for the military are just one of the many reasons I love the SEC
