CINCINNATI - One autumn day a few decades ago, the late Beano Cook found himself inside Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland, home of the U.S. Naval Academy. Cook was a college football analyst at the time, moderately well known and a very funny man. He was in town to comment on a Navy football game.
Before Beano settled into his press box perch, he took a moment to admire the view. The façade beneath the second deck caught his eye. It was engraved with the names of world-changing battles fought by the Navy and Marines.
