Summary:
Lieutenant Brad Snyder, a 2006 USNA graduate, exemplifies the Academy’s values through his extraordinary journey from midshipman to Navy EOD officer to blind Paralympic champion. After losing his sight in Afghanistan, Snyder went on to win multiple Paralympic gold medals and become a global symbol of resilience and leadership, showing midshipmen and visitors alike how the Naval Academy shapes individuals who overcome adversity and inspire others long after graduation.
When the world thinks of grit, resilience, and the refusal to quit, Lieutenant Brad Snyder’s story rises to the top as an extraordinary example of what it means to serve, overcome, and lead. A 2006 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Snyder has become one of the most inspiring figures in modern sports and military history. His journey from Navy officer to decorated Paralympic champion reminds us that leadership isn’t just taught at the Academy - it’s lived, tested, and proven long after graduation.
