The Sailors of Fleet Week NYC

Photos by Glenn Garner

This Memorial Day weekend marked a time-honored tradition in New York. Sailors of the US Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard docked in New York for a few days of R&R for the 28th annual Fleet Week. The list of events allowed the men and women who protect our country the opportunity to stretch their legs around the city and gave civilians the opportunity to thank them for their service.

While we're forever indebted to their service, we also can't help but to admire the men in uniform as they walk the streets of our little island.
