With the towering statue mimicking the famous World War II V-J Day “kissing photo” in the background, Gloria and other public officials paid homage to the military. They also discussed plans by the 250th Navy and Marine Corps Celebration Committee for the Nov. 6 event to be held on Broadway Pier.
Phil Kendro of the Soledad National Veterans Memorial Association, during a Thursday downtown press conference, called it “the largest celebration on the West Coast commemorating the 250th birthday of both the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps in conjunction with San Diego Fleet Week.”
Kendro added that the semiquincentennial celebration will be led by veteran organizations in collaboration with community partners and civic leaders.
“It will be showcasing something unique that only San Diego can showcase,” he said. “This once-in-a-lifetime event will feature a powerful lineup including aerial flyovers, a dazzling drone show, a live band, great food and drinks and displays of today’s, and tomorrow’s, military technology.”
