This weekend my family and I went to College Station, TX to participate in the March to the Brazos. This March is a longstanding tradition of the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets, and has been held annually since 1908. The focus of the walk is on the exchange of rank between Freshman and Seniors. In 1977, the Corps started to use the walk as a fundraiser and raise money for the March of Dimes. My family and I had the honor of watching the changing of rank and thanking the General and all of the cadets for their hard work for the babies. The cadets had to walk 18 miles. That’s really far. Some of them rode horses.

Each squadron holds fundraisers for the March of Dimes, leading up to the March to the Brazos. At the march, the squadron that raised the most money is announced and wins an award.
