My grandfather was a navy grad class of 67. And boy did he love sing.he passed this year and the stories ive heard of his days in the academy and in service has inspired me greatly. I may not join like he did but i plan to see the skies like he did. Hearing this song will fill me forever with his memory and I'll never forget lowell boaz for as long as the navy protects our country. Also BEAT ARMY.
Every time I hear this after the Army-Navy game, I can't help but get a lump in my throat. There's something about it that just stirs up so many emotions.
Though not an Annapolis graduate. I spent 27 years in the Navy: aircrew for 6 years, served in 2 submarines and 27 surface ships; this still stirs my blood! I did graduate from the Senior Enlisted Academy in 1985.
Same here, I was in 6 years and left as an ET1(SW). When I was 10 my parents took me an a trip to Washington DC and one of our stops was the Naval Academy, although I did not end up going there as a student it made me a lifelong Navy man from that point forward.
I watched Navy beat Army this past Saturday. My dad was in the Navy for 24 years, sadly he passed away last year. He didn't get to see Navy beat Army before he passed. I cried when they sang this at end. I know he was happy they won.
Now colleges from sea to sea May sing of colors true, But who has better right than we To hoist a symbol hue? For sailors brave in battle fair Since fighting days of old, Have proved a sailor's right to wear The Navy Blue and Gold. BEAT ARMY!!
Its been more than 40 years since I was there. Trust me Master chief. It will be the best time of your life. Although you will not think of it that way until you LEAVE.

My daughter just started her first year at the Naval Academy and this song hits hard 😭. So beautiful ❤.
😊😊😊😊😊
Our son too
43 years after graduation, still hits my heart.
After 45 years since I last walked the yard, the second verse carries a meaning which is impossible to explain. Go Navy!

Me too and I was an enlisted man but love everything about the US Navy!
My dad was Class '56. I grew up hearing this song. I love it. Go Navy! Beat Army!
I just enlisted in the Navy carrying on the tradition in my family!!!

Although I spent my 6 years in the US Navy as an enlisted man this stirs me to my core! Former ET1(SW).
Enlisted… commissioned officer… doesn’t matter… thank you for your service!!!

Now colleges from sea to sea
May sing of colors true,
But who has better right than we
To hoist a symbol hue?
For sailors brave in battle fair
Since fighting days of old,
Have proved a sailor's right to wear
The Navy Blue and Gold.
BEAT ARMY!!
They changed words to delete “men” in lines one & five.
Beat Army!
Man that song is so emotional!
Hope this is sung second tonight. BEAT ARMY!
Chills….God Bless you all.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Gives me chills! Lovely!!
I (a high school junior with my eyes set on Annapolis) am just now realizing that my high school uses their fight song. Go navy blue and white!
Blue and gold.
Beautiful.
oh the memories...03!
Anchor's away ⚓🐬🦑and sempre fi,
game day! Go Navy, Beat Army!
Nicely Done!!
Someone said that this is on tier with “Notre Dame, Our Mother” as the best alma mater song of any university.
GO NAVY ⚓ BEAT ARMY
Bravo Zebra! Semper Fortis!
And… Beat Army🔵🟡
Terrific!
Makes me regret not going to the Academy when I had the opportunity.
Likewise, but I am proud of my 6 years of enlisted service. Former ET1(SW).
Happy Founders' Day
BRAVO ZULU !!
Translation for civilians: Bravo Zulu = Well Done!
I can’t wait to be a midshipman

Is this the USNA alma mater?
Yes it is sung at every game and gathering
Its the modified version. A few words were changed since I learned it in the last century.
@@John_Henry83yeah. Changed to delete the word “men”. The split tails evidently complained enough to erase heritage.

@@bodidley5015 USNA females are tougher than many civilian men!
