2012 U.S. ARMY ALL-AMERICAN BOWL

ONLY THE STRONGEST WEAR OUR COLORS

On January 7, 2012, the U.S. Army All-American Bowl will once again kick off at San Antonio's Alamodome.  As it has for more than a decade, this classic East versus West matchup will feature an incomparable collection of tomorrow's college and NFL stars showcasing their talents for a national television audience.  Joining the players in being honored as All-Americans and performing in the Alamodome will be the U.S. Army All-American Marching Band, comprised of 125 of the nation’s finest young musicians and color guard members who will perform at halftime of the Bowl.

Selection as a U.S. Army All-American is an important and prestigious honor for these athletes and musicians.  Only the strongest are chosen to wear the Army colors, and these young men and women truly embody the characteristics of the Army Strong Soldier – demonstrating Strength through Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage on a daily basis.  Activities throughout Bowl Week help connect these All-American athletes and musicians with Army Soldier Heroes from around the country and provide better understanding of what it takes and what it means to be an Army Strong Soldier.

The history and tradition of the U.S. Army All-American Bowl is unparalleled, highlighted by Heisman Trophy winners and more than 100 current NFL players counted among its alumni.  Building upon the extraordinary players and incredible moments featured during each of the previous U.S. Army All-American Bowls, this year’s Bowl promises to provide the thousands in attendance, and millions more watching on NBC, an unforgettable look at the future of college and professional football.
