Here's a #GoodBull for your Thursday Ags. One of our current ALEC students, Marcus Ratcliffe is giving back to veterans who have served our country. Ratcliffe created Mission 3:12, which partners with Walk Among Heroes to give $312 for every turnover the Aggies recover. Last season, the A&M defense had 16 interceptions and four fumble recoveries. Those turnovers equal $6,240 in donated funds that are now sending World War II veteran and Texas A&M University graduate Ray Falke '51 to Normandy for the D-Day anniversary this summer.
