One Brief Shining Moment

Description

An Army Cadet during the 2012 Army/Navy Football game in Philadelphia. Army has a dismal record against Navy, but for about five minutes (real time) in the fourth quarter, it seemed that Army was on the verge of Victory. But alas, it was NOT to be, when one poor Army soul fumbled the ball near the goal line and Navy regained possession. The dream died swiftly.
