@@kissisagod That doesn't change the fact that in the games vs Air Force, every player on the field is willing to die for everybody watching the game!!
I never went to either academy. But I couldn't imagine living my life and not being a Marine. I never wanted anything more or worked so hard to achieve. I totally understand the young men/ women who choose Naval Academy or West Point. This country is fortunate to have them. Semper Fi.
I'm an Army guy, but Today I would like to Thank everyone who serves in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard. Thank you for your service and dedication. It will never be forgotten all the sacrifices you make. GO ARMY BEAT NAVY!
And I don't think I've ever heard a Cadet or Midshipmen say, "Now I'm going to go make millions and millions of dollars in the NFL" even after their enlistment is up, because after you've served your mindset is completely different.
@@sayyowhatsup1067 every time I go to a game nobody pays attention to the anthem they either going to the bathroom concessions stand or on they phone it’s just another song with a racist 3rd verse
2:04 Hell yeah ma’am! It makes me happy to see that people who immigrated to the US believe this country is the best, when our own natural born citizens can’t even appreciate it. Proudly serving in the Army! #hooah
The only game I watch all year. This game is the PUREST game in all of sport. It's all about rivalry and pride...nothing more, nothing less. I watched this game, and end even though the Midshipmen lost, I still cheered Army at the end. Next year Army... GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY! HOOYAH!!
I love this game! This rivalry is the purest there is in all of sports. I make sure if I'm not watching it live its being recorded. The stories the parents tell is probably my favorite part of all of these intro videos.
Our son will march on the field with the Brigade of Midshipmen on Saturday. I cannot wait to watch on tv. They all work so hard to achieve the dream of an appointment. GO NAVY BEAT ARMY!
This intro hit different, this was my first Army Navy. My dad grew up about an hour outside of West Point and never got the chance to see the game until this year. Our family was mutual friends with two other families who each had a kid who went to navy and West Point in the same class. We decided to get tickets and fly to Philly for the game. It was truly incredible, bucket list scratched off for sure
Same thing when the game was played in Baltimore, I went, did the pre game charity fundraiser for Tailgate for Troops which I donated $25. They build houses for injured servicemen. They had mostly brunch type food and a rock and roll band. Glad I got see the march on. Enjoyed the pageantry and tradition of the game.
great video.Opening Commercial for this years Army Navy Game. From a parent of a sons who graduated from West Point and Annapolis this is just a continuation from last years Lead in. Both are great. Definitely the best college football game in America. Only game I know where all are willing to give their lives in the defense of our nation for all those watching.
I watch this monthly, i had the honor and privilege to three times train cadets at Camp Buckner Summer Training .at the U.S.M.A. I would do it again 1000 times. To have been a small part of their development as Soldiers and Leaders was the best duty I ever had. GO ARMY BEAT NAVY.
“To protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic...” words not well understood by those who have never taken the oath. I am thankful for those, young and old who continue to embrace that commitment and serve us each day. Amen and Godspeed.
This game is on my bucket list. What an honor it would be to attend one day. Both sides fighting against each other for 60 minutes - later being brothers in arms. Slow salute to these young men and women of the academies.
Always enjoy watching the pregame video before the game. It serves as a reminder to me that enlisting was the best decision that has forever changed my life for the better. #ProudArmyVet
I had the HONOR of training cadets at Camp Buckner,the summer training for plebe's after their first year. It is a crash course in the Army and Leadership. Best assignment I ever had in 10 years in the Army. Go Army Beat Navy ,AGAIN and AGAIN
I know we have Air Force as well but there’s something special about Army vs Navy that can’t truly be explained. The game itself creates an atmosphere full of pride and spirit that you can’t find anywhere else. I don’t care what college city you travel to. When it’s Army vs Navy you realize that this is more than just a game. As CBS has said the game celebrates the choices that our fellow brothers and sisters had made to sacrifice life for country. I understand that we wouldn’t want to see them die but you can’t help but be proud of them for standing up for our country. God bless them and their families. Can’t wait to watch this game again in December of this year.
Great video! It brought tears to my eyes. Our son was in the USMC, and spots like this show the human element of the men, women, and families of those who choose to serve in the military or law enforcement. Great job.
906 Sparky, wait ... you’re the same guy who made the snarky comment about people on the left hating the military??? My dad was in the Army Air Forces, my brother was a combat pilot in Viet Nam, my stepson is a Marine officer, when Uncle Sam said thanks for trying to enlist but I need someone healthier than you I became a pilot in the CAP, the official Air Force Auxiliary, and I’m a retired law enforcement officer. So maybe you shouldn’t make generalizations and, like I said above, focus on what we have in common. Semper Fi.
In 1983, the Army-Navy Game was played in the Rose Bowl, the last time it was played in the Pacific Time Zone. It's time for the Army-Navy Game to be played in the Rose Bowl, again!!!
Fantastic!! I wish I could have gone to USMA Or USNA. It would have been a dream come true. Thank you 🙏🏼 to all who have placed others before self.👌🏼❤️
What do I love the most about the Army/Navy game? Because regardless of the score they are ALL winners. Oh, and the fact that not a single one is going to be taking a knee!
It was my honor during my service in the Army to train Cadets during summers at Camp Buckner and Camp Natural Bridge at the Point.These kids are just different.
Jacob Alcala : Those two dislikes are probably types who prefer ANTIFA vs CODE-Pink. The leftist in our country hate our military, our history, and anyone who loves our country.
906 Sparky, really, you’re going to bring your political agenda to this discussion? You sure the thumbs down aren’t from Neo-Nazi, right wing, church and synagogue shooting people that are mad the sons of a mixed-race couple and a Nigerian-American are at our service academies? Could you go troll someplace else please? Leave the discussion to those of us who try to focus on what unites us instead of what divides us. Great intro to the game, great game, spectacular ending!
@@flalawdog9463 Statistically yeah I'm pretty sure, there are far less white supremacists then there are people in our country who hate it, not even close to being the same amount. But I guess if you were really lucky it could be a white supremacist, but I'm almost 100% sure it's someone who hates our military and those who love it.
Toast Ghost The truth is there are those among us - brothers and sisters who do not understand or appreciate military service. They do not know the selfless sacrifice or patriotism that drives this commitment. Those who serve , serve for them as well. God bless them!
100mm tube of justice -hi 100mm tube of justice I saw your post I'm with you on this one my heart will always belong to the army (from army brat /wife)
Semper Fi to all my Navy brothers and sisters ! My army brothers and sisters as well! But next Saturday in the Meadowlands all I can say is: Go Navy beat army! USNA 1979
This video hits close to home, mine may not be the Military Academies, but a similar situation. My son is a Marine, but 3 years ago he had college paid for, top meteorology school in the nation. 1400 SATs, nope calls me to ask me to sign paperwork to join the Corps. I almost had a wreck, on my Bluetooth, no mention, no discussion, nothing. Mom I need you to sign my paperwork I am going to the USMC.Are you sure about the Marines. We are a Navy family. Yes I am sure, ok be there in 5 minutes. Couldn’t be a more proud MoM.
"He's willing to give it all for everyone else......how many parents can say that?" There are over 1.3 million people on active duty in the U.S. military and another 800k reservists. Every one of them is someone's son or daughter.
I would be curious to see how the lifetime earnings of the kids who go to a military academy to those who go to a mid tier football school is. I bet it’s closer then what people think.
Never mind that it was Nate Boyer, an ex-Green Beret, that gave Colin Kaepernick the idea to kneel as a respectful gesture of protest in the first place...
David Arruda Nate Boyer said Kaepernick should kneel instead of sit because it would be less disrespectful. He didn't say kneel instead of stand. It wasn't Nate Boyer's idea to protest the flag. He even said he would rather have seen him stand, and that it hurt him to see Kaepernick sitting for the anthem. Stop trying to use people that have sacrificed for this country to justify your disrespect.
There are three kind of people in this world. 1) Sheep 2) Wolves who prey on Sheep 3) Those that prey on wolves who put themselves in between the sheep and the predator. Be the Sheep Dog. Not the Sheep nor the Wolf.
I lost my girlfriend becouse her family was religious they did not believe in military service it broke my heart she still does not know how much it killed me too leave her. I still think about her once a day.
Miguel, if it were not for those of us that do and did serve, your ex girlfriends family would NOT have their right of religious freedom. I would tell them that.If you do not feel it is correct for you to say it, put me in touch with them,and I will. I will square them away.
The only Football Game with REAL HEROES! No sissy’s kneeling here! Only endorsement is the chance to serve our GREAT NATION!!! This is always a GREAT game to watch there are No Losers involved in this National Jewel!!! MAY GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!!
I know how much work and preparation it takes to get into West Point, Naval Academy, and Air For e Academy. I don’t know about the people that are supposedly being portrayed here, but this is a process that starts as early as age 10. Perhaps it’s different for athletes, but the effort and teamwork between the child, parents, teachers, coaches, and mentors does not happen overnight. Just the application process alone coupled with the process to get a nomination is not something the child does alone. This commercial paints the picture where the family was totally clueless and that their kid just decided to go to Army/Navy. I call BS.
Overwatch most start their application during high school, my bud started his app his senior year of high school, my other friend, she started her in her second year of being active in the Army. It’s a commitment, a big one, you graduate as a 2nd LT with a 8-10 year contract. The process is long, took my friend 14 months, but it all falls into place if you stay on top of everything. Before you know it, you’ll be receiving your acceptance note
