"Noem treated the players to a poem from one of her favorite movies, The Grey, starring Liam Neeson that she said she used for every single challenge that she has in life, whether physical, mental, or political. The poem was written by Alfred Lord Tennyson, based on Shakespeare's line from his poem The Charge of the Light Brigade. Once more into the fray."
"Into the last good fight I'll ever know. Live and die on this day. Live and die on this day, Noem recited. She continued, And that's how I approach everything, is that you are deciding to go once more into the fray. You're deciding to go in. And that this is the day, this could be the last great fight you'll ever know, on this field. This is your chance to play at Fenway; this is iconic."
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visited the U.S. Coast Guard Academy football team in the locker room at Fenway Park before the 2025 Secretaries' Cup. She recited a poem used in the film The Grey, attributing it to Alfred Lord Tennyson and linking it to Shakespeare's The Charge of the Light Brigade. Noem urged players to treat the game as a defining fight and framed the Fenway opportunity as iconic. The Coast Guard Academy faces the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in the rivalry, now called the Secretaries' Cup after the Coast Guard moved to Homeland Security. Noem concluded with a taunt about the Merchant Marines that drew cheers.
