United States Naval Academy freshmen make a human wall while climbing the lard-covered Herndon Monument in #Annapolis, #Maryland. Each year, members of the freshman class, known as '#Plebes,' climb the monument to retrieve the Plebian Sailor's hat and replace it with an officer's hat. The #tradition is one step in marking the end of freshman year | May 23, 2016 | 📷: markphoto__ | #GettyImagesNews #Navy
