The uniforms the U.S. Military Academy will wear Saturday against Navy has special meaning to a group of old 3rd Infantry Division soldiers. Listen to Bobby Ball a young lieutenant not too far removed from his cadet days at West Point when he found himself in the battle for Baghdad on April 5, 20023. “These numbers mean something," said Ball. "The first thing that I see when I see is the decal. These are number markings that reflect the unit designators. Every brigade, battalion, company, and platoon has a different number, marking on the chevron. You see these numbers. When we crossed from Kuwait into Iraq, you see these numbers. When we fought north, we see these numbers. During Thunder Run into Baghdad, we saw these numbers. For the 3rd Infantry Division these numbers are personal.”
