The Army officers assigned to the NASA Army Detachment trolled the Navy football team ahead of Saturday's marquee matchup, thanking the Navy for"honoring Army astronauts."
It’s Army-Navy game day! A long tradition of both teams is to design uniforms to honor our nation’s heroes. "When I heard that the Army wanted to honor us, the Army astronauts, with their Army-Navy football uniforms this year. I thought to myself ... that is so thoughtful," Army astronaut Col. Andrew Morgan said in a video attached to the tweet.
The Navy revealed the new uniform last month, which honors the late naval aviator and Navy astronaut Bruce McCandless II. The son of McCandless, Bruce McCandless III, said his father never watched much football, except for the Army-Navy game.
