He was a supply officer for one of the ships docked there. Then Navy went on this really long winning streak, I at first found amusing and liked them winning all then time. But about 5 years ago, I felt pity and sorrow for the Cadets so I switched my allegiance back to the Black and Gold. Nowadays, I just want to see a damn good football game. I love how both teams play, their style of play is really what makes it so compelling. I love the 3 yards and a cloud of dust.
So, there's my history of watching the Army/Navy game.
Your grandpa's a BOSS........... much respect because he's a true American hero.
A bit off-topic, but I'm wondering if I go to Germany for this stem cell treatment, would I be able to make a stop off in France to see the beaches of Normandy. Did he ever tell stories about it?
Being a WWII junky, that would be amazing to see.
