Nationwide, American Legion posts are hosting watch parties for the Dec. 13 ‘America’s Game’, which will be broadcast at 3 p.m. ET on CBS.
For the second straight year, The American Legion is the official veterans organization and associate sponsor of the Army-Navy Game presented by USAA. The game will be broadcast at 3 p.m. ET on Dec. 13.
