USNA to honor trio at The Game

ANNAPOLIS, Md. - The U.S. Naval Academy will honor recent graduate Ensign Joshua Kaleb Watson, as well as Airman Mohammed S. Haitham and Airman Apprentice Cameron Scott Walters, at the 120th Army-Navy football game Dec. 14. The trio was killed Dec. 6 by an active shooter at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Fla. Watson was a member of the Naval Academy's 10th Company and captained the 2018-19 Rifle Team. Watson’s shipmates from 10th Company will be wearing red, white and blue ribbons pinned to their lapels. Defensive co-captain Midshipman 1/C Nizaire Cromartie will be wearing a memorial patch from the Naval Aviation Schools Command (NASC) in Pensacola, where all three were assigned. Several of the leadership and midshipmen will be wearing NASC patches provided straight from the flight suits of Watson's Pensacola classmates (class 20-04) in his memory. He entered the aviation training pipeline in November. (Source: CHINFO 12/13/19)
