PHILADELPHIA -- The roar of Air Force One and a tip of its wing over the playing field signaled President Bush's presence Saturday at the Army-Navy football game, a matchup steeped in tradition and shadowed today by the war in Iraq.

Call the plays!
Thank you for the ping. As the daughter of a West Pointer I know how serious this game is for both school.
But, frankly in the end it just amazes me the fine men we have that soon will take the oath and serve our country.
My hats off to Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard.
Thank you for the pictures! He is so awesome.
Go Navy! Beat Army!
Well I was in the USNR but in light of todays war climate I was hoping for a tie
I like all our miltary at this point
Great Game, NAVY kicked it in gear once again.
Series is now tied after 100+ years of tradition.
Go NAVY and Semper Fi Marines!
Great WIN, off to the Emerald Bowl in San Fran.
Regards,
Joe

Yes, that's certainly interesting. Will there be a cabinet position somewhere for Zell?
Prairie
I think so ... but which one .. hmmmmm
Your daddy's a West Pointer, huh?
My husband is a grad of USNA.
Ditto your sentiments.
I was in both Air Force and Army ROTC, but served in the Navy!
My team always wins!:^)
Yes, my father was class of 1961, he however joined the Air Force as the AFA had not yet opened when he was selected to the Point.
His last duty at the Pentagon where he died at a very young 45 years and now resides in Arlington Cemetery, facing the Pentagon. While some may not understand what I am about to say, but, I think dad would have loved residing under a weeping willow near the shores of the Gulf. He did indeed deserve his final resting place. At least he can roll back over after Clinton left the building.
Give your husband a friendly salute from brat, former AD and now wife of a wonderful Army artillery officer, whose VA Tech Hokies beat Miami. yahoooo
Isn't that 2nd pic just wonderful. The CIC is so relaxed with his men and the men are definately relaxed with him. I love it.
ditto on the photo's thank you
PING
Trumps the "Greeks" everytime! :)
Thanks for the Ping. I watched the game. It was great. Usually when there is a game played at the Linc the F-15 flyover goes over my apartment. This time the Apache's didn't, and I was waiting :( I live by car about 35 minutes from the Linc but when they do the flyovers I hear them at my apt. then on the t.v. about 2 minutes later. I would have loved to see the President today, he looked great.
I am sure you would have my beloved along with you on that list, I was a U of Utah chick Alpha Chi Omega" not one of them would last in ROTC! shh don't tell
Glad you recieved the ping. The photos of the President did indeed look awesome.
Perhaps next time, but, until you have wonderful memories of other flyovers, for some they do not even notice what is happening but folks like us, it means the world.
