FLEET WEEK BEGINS

Another May and New Yorkers  and visitors to our great city get to experience FLEET WEEK which began today.  Fleet Week is a celebration of Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard teams who protect our shores.  New Yorkers get to meet and greet the service men and women and New York City becomes a sea of people in uniform.  If you are lucky enough to be in New York during Fleet Week, take a moment to say "thank you" if you see a one of these special people!

FLEET WEEK NYC 2011

Ever since 1984 New York has celebrated Fleet Week when Navy and Coast Guard ships as well as ships from all over the world visit New York Harbor.  This year it begins today, May 25th and ends on June 1st with a military aircraft fly over in honor of those who lost their lives in service to the United States.  If you're in New York anytime during this period, thank a service man or woman.
