GBK’s Parents’ Perspective: Tom & Erin Small with GBK Podcast Host, Joe Iacono
Fans of Army Black Knights football come from all walks of life, but some of the most passionate and notable supporters are the parents of the players themselves.
From the recruiting journey to Acceptance Day, from the highs of game-day victories to the challenges that come with life at United States Military Academy, these families are deeply invested in both the football program and the development of their sons as future Army officers.
Their support, sacrifice, and unwavering loyalty are an important part of what makes the Army football brotherhood so unique.
