Some people had asked about a history lesson on this great event showing tribute to the victims of 9-11

I wanted to make a time line showing the history behind this....
September 11th, 2001- Greatest Act Of Terrorism in History in, in that is where nine of A&M's aggies stepped up and decided to show the Aggie support....
September 12th, 2001- Red, White, & Blue Out Idea Formed

Over Weekend- C&C Creations Contacted & Start Making 15,000 Shirts, they began putting in late night hours to get it done
By Wednesday Night, Had Sold Over 26,000 Shirts And C&C Team Nearing Exhaustion- cc's creation, who if anyone has ever been to college station, knows that they are the beholder of any t-shirt for any event
On Thursday Bring In Last 14,000 From C&C And Sell Out By Noon-some students had not gone to class in a week because they had been constantly selling shirts for this cause
Next Day And A Half- Finding Shirts, Facilities, & Manpower
-i was told at first yell last year about how a aggie father who owned a screening company in dallas used all of his manpower and worked though the night and used his own gas money and rented out a full size uhaul to get the last of the shirts here. apparently there was not a red or blue shirt available within a 100 mile radius of dallas, houston, or college station as of now

Sell 30,000 Shirts In 5 Hours On Game Day-the man power alone to facilitate that scares me, we in my christian frat sold about 400 in a 2 hour period this last year and that was stressful enough

Continue Selling 10,000 Shirts W/ Posters In Period After Game – Continue To Sell Posters-that same group of people continued with a fund for the victims well after RWB out

RC even showed some love too towards the idea....

some of those 9 aggies who created the whole idea one month later went to new york to go present two checks to two different funds, and their deeds weren't unnoticed outside of texas
