Fleet Week San Diego is the largest military appreciation event in the nation. The event offers civilians the opportunity to learn firsthand about the military by experiencing the thrills of fighter jet demonstrations, touring Navy ships and taking part in military traditions - all while showing support for military personnel.
"Fleet Week San Diego is an amazing opportunity for anyone who has ever been interested or curious about the military to take part in daily operations and see what these men and women do for our country," said Fleet Week Chairman Sandy Purdon. "Since San Diego County has one of the highest concentrations of military bases in the country, Fleet Week San Diego is one of the best opportunities for everyone to take part in military life."
