After graduation Alejandro Villanueva was commissioned in the Infantry and served tours in Afghanistan with the 75th Rangers, before pursuing his second career in the NFL, where he became an All-Pro offensive tackle.

A sincere thank you and salute to all the Men and Women on this Veterans Day.

As you already know GoBlackKnights.com is associated with West Point-themed sports, particularly the Army West Point Black Knights football team. In honor of Veterans Day, we would like to thank the veterans for their service, including those who are part of the GBK community. 

  • Honoring veterans: The term “Go Black Knights” is used in our social media posts to honor veterans for their service.
  • Connection to military: The posts frequently feature and mention U.S. military members, including alumni of West Point.
  • Veterans Day posts: Content related to the website includes Veterans Day posts from years past, with the 2018 post specifically mentioning the founder’s (Charles Grevious) twin sons who are West Point grads and Army Rangers, as noted on X.  Of course GBK’s Podcast Host/Football Analyst Joe Iacono and Sr. Football Analyst Gordon Larson are West Point grads and Army veterans.
