(AP) — It was announced on Tuesday that next year’s game between service-academy rivals Air Force and Navy has been moved to Sept. 11 in recognition of the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The game was originally scheduled for Oct. 2. “We will use this nationally televised opportunity to reflect on the meaning of our freedom and the competitive spirit of our nation,” Navy athletic director Chet Gladchuk said in a statement. It will mark just the third time the two schools have played in September and the earliest they have ever met. They normally meet the first Saturday in October.
