I've said it once and I'll say it many more times... the Army/Navy game is THE purist game in all of sports. It's not about multi million dollar contracts, endorsements, rings, or championships. This is about nothing, and I mean NOTHING more than rivalry and pride. I'm retired Navy, yes I root for the Midshipmen, but in the end, when the game is over. I still call Army my brothers and sisters. This is the only game I watch, the hell with the NFL, NBA and MLB. All of those players need to sit down and watch what purity of heart and sacrifice looks like.GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY! HOOYAH!
One of the most touching, brilliant, totally moving pieces of television promotional journalism ever. All of it. The quotes. The music. The videos representing decades of repeated, intimate family moments of trial, of love, of support. "The only game where everyone who plays in it is willing to die for everyone watching it." Just kids, all of them. Rolling tears down the face, right there.
@@Josh-kp8si I understand the joke, but don't think Air Force hasn't lost men and women too. Us Air Force personnel do understand that Army, Navy, Marines have lost many more but we (Air Force) have sacrificed as well.
Incredibly apt and pure statement. Your thoughts are directly on point. Although I am Navy, You Sir, speak for All of Us. Godspeed and Fair Winds Sir. Assuming that you are USMA, I Thank You in advance for your time and consideration in defense of our Home and Country. Your sincere patriotism is not unappreciated. AND with all due respect, Go Navy Beat Army.
this intro always brings back memories. my grandfather was an infantry officer in WWII and Korea, and told me about USMA officers he'd served with. he knew i was interested in the army and told me if i wanted to be a leader, I should go there. the last conversation i had with him was thanksgiving 1990, and he told me i should go to West Point. he died on 29 november. 51 weeks later, on 22 november 1991, i got my offer of admission. i cried like a baby that night 'cause i knew my granddad was looking out for me. i wear my USMA class ring every day and have a picture of my granddad in my office. my parents supported me, but i wouldn't have had that opportunity without him.
Best commercial ever coming from a 3 generation military family gets me every time and gives me a smile for all the games my parents went to; Dad WW II, Brother Cold War, Son Enduring Freedom Afghanistan, Daughter in law Doha Qatar
I come back to this every year, especially during Army / Navy Week and it never ceases to get me emotional! Beyond thankful for the men and women of both institutions and so grateful to be able to watch this every year…As a Michigan fan I look forward to this game just as much if not more than “The Game” it’s always bigger than a game and this showdown year in and year out shows that! 🇺🇸
Watching this today in 2020, after all we have been through, and there without question is Army-Navy for the 121st time. Thank you Cadets and Midshipmen! You make us so proud!
Graduated from Annapolis, been to 8 Army Navy games including The Rose Bowl Game, nothing like it anywhere! The rivalry is unmatched anywhere and when it ends, we are all one team! Taught at Annapolis as well and the character and drive of these midshipmen is an inspiration. The highlight of my life!
I only saw one in person. The 1989 game at the Meadowlands, the very first one in Giants Stadium. Army had dominated the rivalry in the late 80’s and were 2 Touchdown favorites that day, but Navy won 19-17 on a last second FG. It was without question the greatest sporting event I ever saw in person.............one where I felt privileged to be in the company of such greatness of character and spirit. The respective attention each team gives to the other’s alma mater at game’s end is amazing and moving. Watched the ‘83 Rose Bowl game on TV, and recall a beautiful sunny day and a Navy rout : their last win until the 1989 game. Congrats to you for your service and teaching career.
I'll never forget the days I received my appointments to both West Point and the Naval Academy. I ended up attended West Point but not graduating yet still eventually becoming an officer. However, even after commissioning, the most unique and memorable moment in the journey was receiving those appointments in the mail. Beat Navy.
I really enjoy watching all of these introduction videos for this great game. This video I feel just happens to be my favorite. I am always conflicted with whom I support more, Army or Navy. When I left high school, I went to see the Army recruiter but he was not there in his office that morning. I wanted to be a tank mechanic. The Navy recruiter was there in his office though so I became an aircraft technician. I many times miss those experiences. God bless all who serve.
The *best* game of the year. I block off my day to watch this game. I love all the military academies but this game is so very special. Go Army, BEAT NAVY!
Nothing beats Army Navy Game…most emotional game I have ever attended…forget what the football records of either team coming into this game…it’s inconsequential…it’s what these teams represents that makes this game truly great
Wanted West Point,never got in. Life long fan.But during my time in the Army,I had the honor to train Cadets during summer at the Point. Both Camp Buckner,and Camp Natural Bridge. Best assignment I ever had,by FAR! These kids are just different. Be there in 2020. Watching this today during this Virus mess. Army is a lacrosse power and I have season tickets. Huge bummer, team could have made to finals championship weekend in Philly.
The best army navy game intro ever. It plays like a movie and it spells out all of the sacrifices these young people go through and what selflessness they represent. Go Army!!!
I know how that feeling is not an easy mission to do something amazing above all what we can imagine. Made my parents cry and got emotional when I joined the Army, although it wasn't west point. But doing something different that few people can say they have done
This video reminds us why this country is great !! proud to be American and proud of my grandpa who enlisted during ww2 and put everything else aside to serve his country and fight in the pacific 🇺🇸🇺🇸 God bless our armed forces and our country 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯💯💯💯💯
I had the privilege of wearing the uniforms of both branches, nothing make me prouder than the moment of saluting the flag of America. The proudest thing I’ve done for my life is that I’ve worn the uniforms of U.S. Army and U.S. Marines before I even became American.😄everyday I woke up I remind of myself the hardships I’ve gone through to be where I’m at and what it meant to swear to defend The Constitution Of United States against all enemies both foreign and domestic. 🙂🇺🇸
Thank you to everyone who served. Now more than ever your service is appreciated. Puting your country, your brothers and sisters above all else even at the cost of your life. Thank you again! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
This just hit me in the heart. No mater what color you are, no mater what religion you are, no mater what gender you are, any male or female who service our armed force is a son and a daughter of mine. Hooowhaaa!
These men and women at the Army-Navy Game represent all who serve in any branch of the Armed Services. They are great representatives.May they all be blessed for their service to our country.
Wonderful. I watch the game every year proudly. I am the daughter of a US Navy VET, WW2 USS Oberon and the niece of a US Army 1st Lt- KIA Germany, 1944. God bless America 🇺🇸
My son went ROTC for the USMC and the neighbors never got it. His decision to serve at so tender an age was baked in his bones after 9-11 and nothing would dissuade him. He is now deployed again, and given his injuries, probably for the last time . And, you know, knowing the cost, he still would not have done it any other way. "Semper Fi' "
God Bless America and all who serve. Lets hope todays present politicians and parties do not screw it up more than it already has been screwed up over the last couple of decades. That being said once you serve and spend time overseas you will realize real quick we are the Greatest Nation On Earth!
This is not a game to me it's a religion my dad served in the navy WWII and served in the army and we loved watching that game together but our love for our country was what it was all about God bless America go Army beat Navy.
Ive watched this video over thee years, numerous times..I have no interest in the ARMY/NAVY game, or college football in general...I likenthe CBS intros and pats /chiefs a couple years ago led me here...with that being said, this video/ intro is the best i have ever seen
I love the comment "its the only game people playing in it are willing to die for people watching it". I will say the Air Force academy does play both Army and Navy and I garentee those men would die too. I understand Army and Navy is much more popular and what the dad said is definitely true, but my Air Force guys would definitely do the same! Since my father in law is Navy, go Navy beat Army 2022!

VERY, VERY WELL SAID!!
Thank you for service. Go Army. Go Navy. Hot Seat: throbbing cock of freedom
This is the single greatest sports intro ever produced. It’s brilliant. Go army. Go navy. You are the pride of a nation.
Best opening ever. The dates of those acceptance letters..always gets me
This was the first Army-Navy game I watched, now I'm enlisted and stationed in 10th Mountain, CLIMB TO GLORY

What about Army v Air Force and Navy v Air Force??

@Mike Cavanaugh
yes sir but I’m navy all the way!
This is the BEST Intro EVER for a college football game and it has barely anything to do with football. GO ARMY!!!!
this intro always brings back memories. my grandfather was an infantry officer in WWII and Korea, and told me about USMA officers he'd served with. he knew i was interested in the army and told me if i wanted to be a leader, I should go there. the last conversation i had with him was thanksgiving 1990, and he told me i should go to West Point. he died on 29 november. 51 weeks later, on 22 november 1991, i got my offer of admission. i cried like a baby that night 'cause i knew my granddad was looking out for me. i wear my USMA class ring every day and have a picture of my granddad in my office. my parents supported me, but i wouldn't have had that opportunity without him.
Our best and brightest. I've been to every major sporting event, college and pro---nothing compares to attending an Army-Navy game.
Brings tears
Every time
Best commercial ever coming from a 3 generation military family gets me every time and gives me a smile for all the games my parents went to; Dad WW II, Brother Cold War, Son Enduring Freedom Afghanistan, Daughter in law Doha Qatar
This has got to be the best or one of the best Army vs Navy openings!!!💪🏾
This is still my favorite opening
So good, they keep stealing clips of it for future Army-Navy Game Openings.
Best Army vs Navy openings?. It's the best opening ever.
Definitely the best
Nothing even close. This is the greatest of all of them. Can watch it all day long and never get bored. Go Army! Beat Navy! And God bless America!
Although I spent my 6 years in the US Navy as an enlisted man this stirs me deeply. Former ET1(SW)

This is the ONLY game I will watch of ANY sports
Watching this on Mother’s Day 2018. I love my Mother. I love my country.
Was the Best Army - Navy game Ever, had everything and was a nailbiter till the end...
I'll never forget the days I received my appointments to both West Point and the Naval Academy. I ended up attended West Point but not graduating yet still eventually becoming an officer. However, even after commissioning, the most unique and memorable moment in the journey was receiving those appointments in the mail. Beat Navy.
Great story! Go Navy!
This is the only game that I would ever watch.......those in the field are my brothers and they are willing to die for me.

Hope to see you out on the lanes. Thanks for the time and effort you put in for our training. We appreciate it more than you know.
@@kevinwanovich4994 Many thanks sir.
The "ONLY" game that the people on the Field would "DIE" for everyone in the stands.
Pure chills...everytime!
Why is there a tear running down my cheek. Well....I'm proud to be American for 7 decades.
A kid can pick any Ivy League or college they want but in the Academy, a kid is chosen. That’s a powerful word, you are chosen to serve.
The best army navy game intro ever. It plays like a movie and it spells out all of the sacrifices these young people go through and what selflessness they represent. Go Army!!!
Fabulous!!! Thank you!!!
Beautiful.
Best ad they ever did!!!!
2:22 Play that over and over
Four more years. Can’t wait
I know how that feeling is not an easy mission to do something amazing above all what we can imagine. Made my parents cry and got emotional when I joined the Army, although it wasn't west point. But doing something different that few people can say they have done
I cannot wait for next Saturday in the Meadowlands!

I’m in the Navy but I was impressed with the Army’s entrance carrying the American flag.
Great video!!!!
POWERFULL WOW!! 🤝
When this video pops up, I have to stop and watch, used to see Officer. Tainer at practice.

If more people watched this, maybe the world can come back
I wonder how CBS will open the 2024 Army Nave Game. I know its a long time from now but, just saying.
Why that one specifically?
@@theMcWOPPER I think one will be the 125th meeting.
This one was a good one though.
I love the comment "its the only game people playing in it are willing to die for people watching it".

I'd like to see a game in Los Angeles with the bleachers filled with highschool students. And maybe officers in uniform handing out pamphlets 🙂
Little do they know about USR ...

Hi
Wait a minute, I thought this was for military until football showed up. Now I'm just confused.

This is awful! The only time people were sent letter’s regarding military service was via the draft!
