According to an Associated Press article from the time, Wally Schirra and Tom Stafford were set to visit the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland for homecoming weekend in 1966 (Oct. 21-23), where:
They'll present to the brigade of midshipmen the miniature brigade flag and "beat Army" sign they took with them in their Gemini 6 capsule and give to the Naval Academy museum the wings and space suit insignia they wore on the historic flight last December.
