    Wife and I did go to a Air Force Academy football game once, in Colorado Springs.

    If I was able to visit any Academy, it would be the Naval Academy. Men and women Midshipmen look great in their dress uniforms.

    I know, Lon, but, I've never been interested in visiting West Point. So, since I was in the Navy, it would be the Naval Academy.

    Actually, my wife has a distant relative that went to West Point and we have a picture of him in his Dress Uniform.

    My son graduated from USMA, my brother's daughter (my niece) attended USNA, and her son will soon be at the Air Force Academy.

    I remember the family all going to an Army-Navy game, my mother had to have an Army banner in one hand, and a Navy banner in the other since she had a grand child at each academy.
