Description
The nation is marking Veterans Day on Friday, November 11 to honor those who have served our country. The San Diego Fleet Week Veterans Day Boat Parade is underway on San Diego Bay. The boats will start at Shelter Island, work their way past Harbor Island, the Embarcadero and cross the bay to Coronado.
Many of the boats in the parade will also have active-duty personnel and veterans aboard. The boats will be competing for prizes for best decorated in Navy, Marine Corps, Army, Air Force, Coast Guard and patriotic themes. In addition to the boat parade, there will be skydivers, vintage aircraft flyovers, and search and recuse demonstrations by the U.S. Coast Guard.
Here is a list of locations offering special deals for veterans and active-duty military members on Veterans Day and weekend.
