SF had its annual Fleet Week this year in mid-October, and it was my first since last year's was cancelled. Fleet Week, per its website, is "an annual public event that honors the contributions of the men and women of the United States Armed Forces while advancing cooperation and knowledge among civilian- and military-based Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response personnel."

There are a number of days and events to further and honor Fleet Week's cause, and it ends with an air show by the Blue Angels among others. Seeing the Blue Angels flying over the bay, by the GG bridge, and over my apartment was an experience I won't forget. The whole weekend is an awe inspiring reminder of what our Armed Forces can accomplish.
