Many of the usual suspects returned for Army-Navy 2009.
The weekend began at a “Welcome to Philly” reception at the home of USNA Out member Joe Soto. More than a dozen alumni from West Point, Annapolis and New London made it to town in time for the Friday night affair. Thank goodness for the late afternoon 14:30 kick-off time for the game.

This year, we thank the Knights Out of West Point for taking charge of orchestrating a great Tailgate brunch before the game. For the first time, the Army and Navy were represented in equal numbers.
A few USNA Out members made the trek to Philadelphia to join us for the first time. Braxton Sisco ’95 flew in from Dallas, Texas, bringing along his mother-in-law while his partner Robert finishes studying in the UK. An alumni from ’00, who first learned about USNA Out by googling “army navy gay tailgate” (it works, as usual) came down from New York with a friend.
An additional SF Bay Area Chapter/USNA Out game watching event was held at the North Star cafe in San Francisco. More coming when we have photos/reports.

After game activities included a dinner for 32 Alumni with their family and friends at one of Joe’s favorite Philly restaurants. By Sunday morning, the cold had turned to rain, and a few stragglers had a goodbye breakfast.
