2013 U.S. ARMY ALL-AMERICAN BOWL

ONLY THE STRONGEST WEAR OUR COLORS

On January 5, 2013, 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.

Barry Sanders

Barry Sanders, Running back and I’m on the west.

Kathleen Stark: Our students are so excited; they’ve been anticipating this visit for weeks. We told them before Christmas break and when they came back they were eager and ready to have the players come.

Barry Sanders: We have fifth graders say they’ve seen the game and kind of know what it’s all about and so it’s pretty cool being able to say I’m a part of it and they say they’re going to be watching.

Kathleen Stark: And having the U.S. Army support this team and to have them chose Wright Elementary we’re very honored. It really exemplifies what we’re trying to teach our kids.

Barry Sanders: It’s not; we’re hanging around with all Army guys I’ve been able to build a bond with those guys something special and I look forward to seeing those guys throughout the week.

SFC Steve Kimsey: I feel very fortunate being selected out of all the Special Operations, all the Army Soldiers getting to come down here for this, because it’s only a handful of people just like the best football players in the nation they’re a handful of players.

Barry Sanders: I appreciate them for serving the country.
