How We Support Midshipmen
Support the Brigade 100%
When you visit the Yard, dine in our restaurants, shop at our stores (even online), and host events that we cater, you are supporting the midshipmen that support our freedom. Your vacation is that much more exciting, your meals taste better, your shopping is more meaningful, and your event is that much sweeter, knowing that it all benefits our Brigade of Midshipmen.
