Congratulations Sec. Robert Gates — former U.S. Secretary of Defense and former president of Texas A&M — as he receives the Patriot Award from the Congressional Medal of Honor Society this weekend for his decades of public service across multiple presidential administrations, his steadfast leadership, and his support for military personnel and their families. 

During his tenure at Texas A&M, Sec. Gates helped strengthen the foundation of our Core Values and invested deeply in the future of Aggieland. His leadership left an indelible mark on our traditions, restoring Military Walk and the spirit of selfless service that defines Aggies today.

Beyond the university, his distinguished career in national service — culminating as Secretary of Defense under two U.S. presidents — exemplifies the kind of principled leadership this award represents.

We are honored to celebrate Sec. Gates’ enduring legacy continues to inspire Aggies to stand together as a force for good.
