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.

The weather outside may be frightful, but Navy games are so delightful! Whether you’re headed to the stadium, cheering from home, or simply running errands around Annapolis, nothing says “Go Navy!” like cozy winter wear that shows off your Midshipmen spirit. And here’s the best part: Every purchase from Navyonline.com, the official Naval Academy shop, gives back directly to the Brigade of Midshipmen. So, while you’re staying warm, you’re also helping future naval leaders thrive. That’s a win-win worth cheering for!
