It is undeniable that every college football game is very exciting, but nothing can compare to the most highly anticipated game of the great rivals – Army and Navy – playing against each other. There were some performances prior to the game. The National Anthem was delivered perfectly by the Naval Academy and West Point glee clubs. While one of the highlights of the game is when country music artist Lee Greenwood made an incredible performance of his iconic song “God Bless The USA.”

Prior to the event, Lee Greenwood expressed his support and appreciation for the two rivals through Facebook. But ultimately, he favored the “Navy” since his father has served in the US Navy.

Watching the Army-Navy game at Lincoln Financial Field was something extraordinary and, most probably, is something that is hard to forget. Perhaps you have watched several sporting events in your life, but the Army-Navy game is incomparable. However, aside from the game, there is something which is more meaningful.
