From the air shows to a ship parade and live band performances, many here say FleetWeek remains an event that helps all Americans bond amid a polarization of politics.
But while Fleet Week has always been one of the most exciting things on the Bay Area's social calendar, it also holds a deeper meaning for many service men and women as a way to strengthen their relationship with the public.
The band's lead singer, Taylor Johns, believes she and her bandmates can play a special role in fostering that relationship. "Everybody loves music, so we're usually like a gateway to loving the Navy. You love our band, you love the Navy, and then you kind of get behind it," she said. And at a time where many might feel the polarization of politics, people here say Fleet Week remains an event that helps unite all Americans.
"In a time where we are so divided, this is one event that brings us together and that's wonderful," said Maan Renshaw.
