Navy Week
Quad Cities selected for 2011 Navy Week Celebration
[Note to editors: With Thursday being Veterans Day, the Navy Office of Community Outreach could think of no better time to announce its Navy Week schedule for 2011. While Navy Weeks feature engagement with corporate, civic, government, education and community service organizations and are conducted primarily to show Americans the investment they have made in their Navy, engagement with your community's veterans will be in integral part of Quad Cities Navy Week.]
America’s Navy will “come home” to the Quad Cities in conjunction with the Quad Cities Air Show, June 16-22.
Quad Cities Navy Week celebration 2011 gives area residents an opportunity to meet some of the Navy’s Sailors and learn about the Navy’s mission and its broad-ranging capabilities.
The U.S. Navy conducts approximately 20 Navy Weeks each year, reaching out to communities across the country to show Americans the investment they have made in their Navy. During a Navy Week celebration, the Navy concentrates a variety of outreach events in a metropolitan area for a week, sharing the Navy story with as many people as possible.
The Navy plans to include the following elements in Quad Cities Navy Week:
- The Navy Flight Demonstration Team, “Blue Angels”
- Sailors from the destroyer USS Sullivans (DDG 68)
- Sailors from the amphibious ship USS Dubuque (LPD 8)
- Navy Band musical performances
- Admirals and other senior Navy leaders, who will meet with local corporate, civic, government and education leaders
- Navy Diver demonstrations in local aquariums
- Navy simulators and other interactive displays
- Community service projects and events with local sports franchises
Other areas that have been selected to host a 2011 Navy Week include: Tampa, Fla., Austin, Texas; Mississippi; Dallas-Fort Worth; Denver; New Orleans; Philadelphia; Chattanooga, Tenn.; Chicago; Rochester, N.Y.; Detroit; Los Angeles; Fargo, N.D.; Indianapolis; Cincinnati; Omaha, Neb.; New England; Albuquerque, N.M.; El Paso, Texas; and San Antonio.
For more information on the 2011 Quad Cities Navy Week, please contact Lt. Cmdr. Pam Bou at pamela.bou@navyweek.org.

This is an awesome event to attend! Make it a meet and greet in your area if you can do that in any way, shape or form. Several of us had a blast when it was in "St Louis" and Scott Air Force Base last fall. Get involved!
