Army button
notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: Round collegiate button with black, yellow and gray stripes and "Army" printed in black in the center of the button. There are three ribbons (black, yellow, and white) attached to the bottom of the button and a goldtone metal football hangs from another yellow ribbon. The United States Military Academy has had a football program since 1890 with three National Chamionships (1944, 45, 46) and three Heisman Trophy winners (Doc Blanchard 1945, Glenn Davis 1946 and Pete Dawkins 1958). The Army Black Knights are located in West Point, New York. Army General Douglas MacArthur is attributed with saying, "Upon the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that upon other fields, on other days, will bear the fruits of victory," in reference to football preparing men for struggles.
