PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The crowd let out cheers of "USA, USA" as President George W. Bush walked out for the ceremonial coin toss at today's Army-Navy game in Philadelphia.
The president playfully kicked a football about 15 yards and basked in the pageantry of the annual Army-Navy game, one of the sport's most storied rivalries.
Both teams heard pre-game pep talks from Bush. He'll watch the match-up from the stands with troops wounded serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. He'll switch from the Army side in the first half to the Navy's for the second.
Earlier in the day, Bush presided over the unveiling of his portrait at a private club in Philadelphia. He told the audience, "Welcome to my hanging," drawing laughs from the crowd.
