The program is designed to help Americans understand that their Navy is deployed around the world, around the clock, ready to defend America at all times. Navy Weeks focus a variety of outreach assets, equipment and personnel on a single city for a week-long series of engagements with key influencers and organizations representing all sectors of the market. During a Navy Week, 75-100 outreach events are coordinated with corporate, civic, government, education, media, veterans, community service and diversity organizations in the city. The Blue Angels, the Navy Parachute Team, Navy bands, Navy divers, namesake ship and submarine crews, hometown Sailors, medical personnel, environmental displays, USS Constitution Sailors and equipment, and Navy recruiting properties all participate in the Navy Week program.

About 7 of our Daughter of the American Revolution group have gotten into the habit of carrying pins with us wherever we go. We do this as we have had many local meetings and have handed out pins at those. We have discovered that many Veterans do not want to attend formal meetings. Our solution which is working extremely well is that our Veterans Committee of five have taken to carrying pins with them all the time. We have had some wonderful encounters with Veterans in quite a number of situations. I am aware of only one who refused a pin. The rest have had big smiles and have been appreciative. We encourage other members to also take a couple of pins. They are hesitant but are starting to get caught up with the idea. Yeah.
