The Army, Navy, and Air Force football teams found a beautiful way to honor the twentieth anniversary of 9/11, with every player on each of the service academies’ teams carrying an American flag as they ran onto the field before kickoff.

The Army Black Knights played the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers on their home field at West Point, and a short 21-second video of the team’s entrance went viral on Twitter on Saturday.

Army would ultimately win the game, 38-35.

The Navy Midshipmen are hosting the Air Force Falcons, and both teams entered with a similarly patriotic display.

Air Force won the game, 23-3.
