Enjoyed this, as I do all of your posts. I’m a ’73 grad (B-P), and former Air Force officer. I was at the ’07 ND-USNA game at which Charlie had the team honor Navy by standing behind them during the singing of “Navy Blue and Gold” before returning to the ND student body for the singing of “Notre Dame Our Mother.” That year, Navy didn’t seem to know how to respond. The following year, however, they reciprocated by honoring ND in the same way.Now that’s a routine part of the game tradition. I don’t believe Navy has ever done that for anyone but the other academies.

It’s because of the service from men (and women) like your father that we can enjoy today. My father also served in the Navy.

Thank you for taking time today to submit this article. Happy 4th of July to you and your entire family. And as always, GoIrish!!
