View Date:2024-12-23 23:44:43
Fleet Week is setting sail in New York City from May 21 to May 27 to honor those who serve and protect the United States seas.
Nearly 3,000 Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen will be honored at the Hudson River during Fleet Week, which began in 1988.
"Fleet Week New York, now in its 36th year, is a time-honored tradition for the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast team to visit New York City over the Memorial Day weekend,” Director of Public Affairs and Fleet Week New York, Beth Baker, said in a statement to USA TODAY.
“The week-long event provides us an opportunity for the citizens of New York City and the surrounding area to meet their service members and see firsthand the latest capabilities of today's maritime services," Baker said in the statement.
At the Hudson River on Wednesday morning, crew members were getting ready to kickoff the annual event.
