国立アメリカ歴史博物館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (国立アメリカ歴史博物館Instagram)「Tomorrow, the Army Black Knights of West Point and the Navy Midshipmen of the U.S. Naval Academy will meet again on the gridiron. This longstanding football rivalry between the teams embodies the interservice rivalry among military branches in the U.S. Throughout the year, and with a notable increase in intensity as game day approaches, the two academies develop jingles, slogans, and songs designed to taunt each other. While there’s mutual respect for their impending entry into active duty, game day is an opportunity to display pride in their service in an over-the-top fashion. Since the first game in 1890 (in which the midshipmen won 24-0), the two teams have met each year with few exceptions. The Navy leads the series with 61 wins, 54 losses, and 7 ties. Currently, the Army has a one-game winning streak. Heisman Trophy winner Roger Staubach wore this jersey during his final college football game, the 1964 Army-Navy game. After graduation, Staubach did a year-long tour in Vietnam before returning to the U.S. to complete his service requirement. He went on to play professional football for the Dallas Cowboys in 1969. You can learn more about this matchup on our blog (link in bio), where curator Jane Rogers reflects on the memories of watching the game while growing up in a family with a strong military tradition. While the museum supports all branches of the military equally, this social media manager would like to say #GoNavy #BeatArmy #GoNavyBeatArmy」12月9日 6時15分
