Army
Navy Game 2000
Baltimore Maryland
 |
The Army Navy game is always a pleasure and an honor to
attend. Filled with excitement and drama. The stands filled with past and future Armed
Service personnel, which makes for a rivalry unparalleled, and a sight to behold. Pregame
festivities included demonstrations by the Golden Knights (Army) and the Leap Frogs ( Navy
Seals) doing hair raising parachute stunts. The above image are three Seal members, one is
actually upside down, plummeting towards the stadium. To put it bluntly, these guys are
nuts! ( but I'm sure glad they are on our side!) |

At half time, the Naval Academy
Midshipmen unfurled the largest American flag ever to be displayed. |
| Once the game was over, both squads of
combatants met on the field and exchanged handshakes and each Academy sang their school's
song. It was amazing that the two teams, at the beginning of the game were trying to tear
each others head off, but in the end, each knew that they were kind of like on the same
team. They had put their differences aside and congratulated each other on a game well
played. A rarity in any sport played today. |
