Midshipmen To March In Inaugural Parade

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- Eight-seven students at the U.S. Naval Academy will march in the presidential inaugural parade this month.

The Naval Academy said Friday the school's 24th Company was chosen due to its status as the Brigade's Color Company.

Midshipmen from 29 states are in the company.

President Barack Obama's inauguration is scheduled for Jan. 21.
