Herndon Part 3

US Naval Academy Class of 2012 scales the Herndon Monument! In Part 3 you'll see the class succeed and become "Plebes-no-more". There is much celebrating. My favorite part of the whole series happens here when the noisy, celebrating midshipmen realize that the band is playing "Blue and Gold". A hush falls over the crowd, hats come off, hands over hearts, and then everyone sings. Gives me chills!

It's great to see that tradition at schools like this still exists after a century.
