Title: The president's team
Description: John Kennedy's relationship with the Midshipmen footballers dated back to 1960. After the tragic events of November 22, 1963, the team dedicated the rest of their season to the fallen president. The annual Army-Navy game proved to be a welcome, almost cathartic distraction from the terrible tragedy of two weeks earlier.
