Members of the 2023 midshipmen's class from the U.S. Naval Academy work to scale the Herndon Monument and place an upperclassman’s hat on the 21-foot obelisk on August 22, 2021 in Annapolis, Maryland. The class of 2023 resumed the 70-year tradition of replacing a Dixie cup sailor's cap atop the monument with an upperclassman’s hat following cancellation in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
