On this day, back in 1965  —  “Tonight Show” trumpeter “Doc” Severinsen returns to the Academy for the second time in less than a year.  In both instances he performed with the Academy Band in Arnold Hall. 

…Also on this day, back in 2003  —  The phrase “Bring Me Men” is removed from its spot over the battle ramp.  The phrase was from the poem “The Coming American” written in 1894 by Sam Walter Foss.  In September 2004, the words would be replaced by the Core Values (“Integrity First, Service Before Self, Excellence in All We Do”).
