In this episode of CBS Eye on Veterans:
We capture some of our favorite moments from the 120th Army-Navy Football Game presented by USAA.
We talk about abducted mascots and other shenanigans with the broadcast voices for both the Army & Navy, Rich De Marco, and Pete Medhurst. And we sit down with Naval Academy alums; former LA Raider star running back Napolean McCallum and former Marine and Atlanta Falcon "Fast" Eddie Meyers to talk about life beyond the military and the football field.
Above: Video recap featuring Executive Producer Alice Crouch, Naval Academy alum and NFL star Napoleon McCallum and Eye on Veterans Host, Phil Briggs
We also had the honor of talking with Army veteran, Ranger and current Secretary of the Army, Mr. Ryan D McCarthy. He shares his vision for the future of the Army, his memories from past games and after Eye On Veterans Host, Phil Briggs fumbles the interview, we discover he’s got a great sense of humor.
Speaking of fumbles, you won't find those with Vet Tix. They provide tickets for veterans to great games, concerts and other shows. We talked with USMC veteran and Chief Strategy Officer Steven Weintraub about how Vet Tix.org is changing veterans' lives by giving away tickets to the coolest events in the country.
Thanks to Vet Tix.org some veterans were able to see games like the 2019 Capital One Orange Bowl, Dec 30, 2019.
