Anchors Aweigh My Boys Anchors Aweigh

Farewell to college joys
we sail at the break of day, day, day, day
to our last night ashore
drink to the foam
until we meet again
here's wishing you a happy voyage Home

Love ya Navy
Love ya Army

3. Love ya Hicks

Navy 17 Army 03 in a defensive battle. Army could not generate any offense. Navy just enough. Although Navy had lots of passing yardage called back due to holding penalties.

5. Well done, BOSS.

Army played tough. But that's to be expected in THIS game. Good job, Middie!

6. I was pulling for Army at the end of the game

As was my wife (another Navy Vet.) I didn't want them to win the game but I did want them to score a touchdown. Great game indeed. Tears always shed in our household during this great tradition.

8. Mom has recently gotten into Navy football

of course, it's because of Republican Stepdad; they recently celebrated their fifth anniversary in Annapolis.
