After a two-year pandemic cancellation Fleet Week is back at the Port of LA this Memorial Day Weekend.
Many at the Port of LA Sunday, including Sea Cadets and others, have a healthy appreciation for Memorial Day. A day some said is all about "remembering people who have died in service," "... who went through a lot to keep us safe," and who "... gave their lives for our country."Marine First Lt. Colton Martin said, "I’ve had so many saying thank you for my service.
Marine Sgt. Ricky Delatorre, who’s based at Camp Pendleton, even put on a bomb suit. It’s a bit bulky and heavy but, as he put it, "It just makes our job a little safer. It protects you from glass and frac in case something doesn’t go as planned."
