Google Texas Agggie WWI, WWII, and Korea.
You’re welcome you commie, douche, liberal, fig, longhorn.
There is a reason we call them t-sips. No disregard to the people who fought and paid their lives.
But up until 20 years ago, Aggies led the way.
Do your fricking homework.

"Campus almost emptied during the war, as cadets left to fight in droves, many never returning. Throughout the worldwide conflict, nearly 20,000 Aggies served in the nation's military, more than 950 of whom laid down their lives for their country."
"Texans accounted for 7 percent of the war's military personnel — equaling more than 750,000."
Did any of the 750,000 Texans go to a college other than A&M? I know Horace Carswell was a TCU grad.

Serious Question - did you serve?

Ok, that's great that your grandfathers served in the military. Others did, too, but sure, it's something to be proud of.
What has your generation done, though?

Every college in every state sent men to WWII, including The University of Texas at Austin. DKR (Darrell Royal) Memorial Stadium is dedicated to those veterans.
TL/DR
quote:
The UT student body dedicated the stadium in honor of the 198,520 Texans, 5,280 of whom died, who fought in WW I. In WW II, UT lost many former players, including former coach Jack Chevigny. The Athletics Council rededicated the newly enlarged stadium in 1948, prior to the Texas-LSU game, honoring the men and women who had died in the war. In 1977, Texas Memorial Stadium was rededicated to the memory of all alumni in all American wars.
The University of Texas honored legendary football coach Darrell K Royal, who enlisted in the US Army Air Corps in 1943 by officially naming the stadium after him in 1996.
Additionally, the university established the Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium Veterans Committee, composed of alumni who served in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, or the Gulf Wars. The committee is charged to forever dedicate the stadium in the memory of, and in honor of, UT students and alumni who gave their lives for their country. Each year, one home football game is designated as Veterans Recognition Day, commemorating the memorial aspect of the stadium and to honor the memory of war soldiers.

quote:Perhaps you might do some homework?
Thomas Landry (September 11, 1924 – February 12, 2000) was an American professional football coach, player, and World War II veteran.
Landry attended the University of Texas at Austin as an industrial engineering major. He interrupted his education after a semester to serve in the United States Army Air Corps during World War II. At the age of 19, Landry was transferred to Sioux City, Iowa, where he trained as a copilot for flying a B-17. In 1944, Landry got his orders, and from Sioux City he went to Liverpool, England, where he was assigned to the Eighth Air Force. From November 1944 to April 1945, he completed a combat tour of 30 missions, and survived a crash landing in Belgium after his bomber ran out of fuel.
He returned to his studies at the University of Texas in the fall of 1946. On the football team, he played fullback and defensive back on the Texas Longhorns' bowl game winners on New Year's Day of 1948 and 1949. He received his bachelor's degree from UT in 1949. In 1954, he was selected as an All-Pro, and acted as a player-assistant coach his last two years.
He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1990.
