General Marshall West Point Football Player Plaque
Mounted on the southeast entrance to Michie Stadium, in the heart of the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York, is a plaque that has become a part of Army's football culture. This plaque immortalizes General George Marshall's famous quote from his time as the Army Chief of Staff in World War II. He said...
"I want an officer for a secret and dangerous mission.
I want a West Point Football Player."
It is an Army tradition for the players to touch, tap, slap the plaque on their way to and from the field as a show of respect. On away game day, the plaque travels with the team and is held by an Army officer as the team passes by on their way to take the field.
