They all stood! Most saluted. Others held their hand over their heart. Nary a soul knelt in protest. The anthem was exquisitely And beautifully sung by a combined choir of solders and sailors. The crowd cheered to the high heavens and there were American flags everywhere. The game was a fantastic display of defensive football, as Army beat Navy by 7 points for Army’s 3rd win over the Navy in the last 3 years after the Navy had put together 14 consecutive years of victories over the Army.


The President of the United States was at the game. He sat till halftime on the Army side of the field and in the second half he sat on the Navy side of the field. The young solders and sailors ganged around him, shook his hand and talked with him.


After the game the players together crossed the field and sang the songs of the Army and the Navy schools.


It was the Football Game Of The Year as it always is for every proud American. God bless America’s armed forces, they’re truly the pride of the nation!

I’m sure that there are several here (the usuals) who will find that display ridiculous and only respected by mind numbed sheep.

There’s one thing everyone should respect about the players from all the academies. Those players are not given special treatment. They are held to the same standards as any other student and those standards aren’t easy to achieve. In fact they have it a little tougher than the average Cadet.
