A belated "thank you" to all vets and their families...

We took some time to visit our Navy Corpsman and say thank you in person.

It is great to see the American people recognizing our soldiers and thanking them for their sacrifices..past and present.

With its 45-28 win over Kent State, Army (6-4) became bowl eligible for the first time since 1996 and set the stage for a historic occurrence. For the first time in history, all three service academies will play in a bowl game in the same season. If the Black Knights upset either Notre Dame or Navy, it will mark just the third time since 1963 that all three finish with a winning record. (Air Force and Navy both have seven wins.)

"It's an awesome feeling," said Army linebacker Stephen Anderson. "It means a lot to the seniors in our last go-around to (perhaps) play one more game. That's incredible."

Unlike Navy (which has accepted its bid to the Poinsettia Bowl) and Air Force (which will land in one of the Mountain West's bowls, most likely the Independence), Army does not have a predesignated bowl partner this year. But it shouldn't have trouble finding a spot. The Pac-10, among others, will not be able to fill all of its bowl slots, and the service academies are always a big draw for bowl organizers because of all the loyal active or former military personnel around the country.

In fact, it may work out that Army will land in, of all places, the Armed Forces Bowl. If TCU makes a BCS bowl, the Mountain West will likely be one team short, and if BYU finishes 6-6, the Fort Worth bowl could choose to let the New Mexico Bowl take the Cougars, freeing up a spot.

Army faces Notre Dame this weekend at Yankee Stadium.
