Sing Second Podcast [Jun 05, '25] featuring Kyle Butters and Craig Symonds

Welcome to another great episode of the Sing Second podcast. We bring you the stories and happenings at the Naval Academy and the Naval Academy Alumni Association and Foundation (AA&F). A double interview episode this week. First, Kyle Butters. Kyle is hosting the HERO RUN & COMMUNITY FESTIVAL Saturday, June 7, 10:00am – 2:00pm with the “Hero Run” at 11:30am at Annapolis High School. The event honors soldiers who have lost their lives to suicide. Butters will run 22 miles each day of the weekend, totaling 66 miles, to raise awareness and support for mental health and suicide prevention programs for military personnel and veterans. And Craig Symonds. Symonds just released the non-fiction book Annapolis Goes To War. It is an amazing read that chronicles the paths of the Class of 1940 from USNA as they graduated and entered into World War II. Craig talks about the book and his many years on the faculty at USNA. Those great convos…plus Chirs and John talk about USS Harry S Truman’s return from deployment, another great flag officer promotion for a USNA alum and their thoughts on the football game time schedule. Thanks for listening. Beat Army...always.
