IT'S FLEET WEEK!!!
May 25th-June 1st, 2011
***
It's Fleet Week, Big Apple,
and our naval service men and women are on the town.
Since 1984, New York City has held Fleet Week to
honor the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps.
The week features extensive military demonstrations,
as well as the opportunity for the
public to tour some of the visiting ships.
The Memorial Day commemoration is a highlight of the
week's festivities, featuring the singing of Taps
and a military aircraft fly over in honor of those
who lost their lives in service to the United States.

Yep, just like MGM's 1949 classic,
this millennium's Kellys and Sinatras are taking to our
New York city streets,
which is as iconic as it is sexy,
and exciting for history buffs and buff body admirers alike.
