Duluth Navy Week 2014 kicked off Aug. 18, starting a weeklong series of events intended to inform local community members to meet and interact with Sailors serving in their Navy.
The Navy Week program is designed to raise awareness about the Navy in areas that traditionally do not have a naval presence and include community relations projects, speaking engagements and media interviews with flag hosts and area Sailors.
Senior Navy leaders as well as sailors from USS Minnesota (SSN 783), the U.S. Navy Parachute Team “The Leapfrogs,” Navy Band Great Lakes, Mobile Diving and Salvage Unite 2 and Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group 2 will be in Duluth to participate in the various events.
