I was a freshman at Texas A&M when this happened. It will always be ingrained in my memories.

When you’re an Aggie, it’s till death.

As a Sooner, I’ve always had a ton of respect for Texas A&M. Watching this brought tears to my eyes. Such an amazing song, played so beautifully for such an amazing man. Well done to the Fighting Texas Aggie Band!

There have only been two occasions where hearing the Aggie War Hymn brought tears to my eyes. The first one was the Aggie Band tribute to the victims of the 1999 Aggie Bonfire collapse, and then this was the second. Rest in peace President Bush from the class of 2006.

1:29 when bush jr looks away, that’s when you know that’s his poppa they’re carrying away. I was a junior when this happened. RIP, thanks and GIG EM👍

Reminds me of when the Michigan Marching Band played The Victors for President Ford when he arrived in Grand Rapids to be laid to rest. Presidents never forget the colleges and teams they loved

Thank you for adding this clip...when I first saw it on the news, I found this music incredibly moving and searched for the song...It was a fitting moment for the return of GHW Bush 's casket to his home.

The song is The Aggie War Hymn! If you like this listen to Noble Men of Kyle and The Spirit of Aggieland! Gig'em 👍

A fitting tribute to a great man.

I remember standing outside the MSC on the day they of the ground breaking for George Herbert Walker Bush's Presidential Library! The entire Bush family was there! RIP Mr. President! Gig'em 👍

I grew up on the Texas A&M campus, and might be a new member to the fighting Texas Aggie class of ‘24. (At least i hope). I have a ton of respect for A&M. Great job Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band!!

The best part about this is that the war hymn is just a middle finger to Texas University. He wanted to flip them off one last time

I was really hoping someone at the ceremony would saw 'em off.

recognized this from the texas aggie band. amazing marching band i must say

A&M is engraved into all of us americans at the end

He was doing horns down In Heaven change my mind

I thought this was so freaking cool when I saw it for the first time
