• The Army-Navy game that ‘stopped the war' (militarytimes.com) — Naval Academy readers get a vivid look back at the 1944 Army–Navy football showdown, originally slated for the Academy’s 12,000-seat stadium before demand forced a move to Baltimore. The story recounts how wartime leaders, Midshipmen, and Cadets turned the rivalry into a massive morale boost, raising millions in war bonds and briefly shifting national attention from battlefields to the gridiron.
