Spokane is one of 15 selected cities where America's Navy will come home in 2012, giving area residents an opportunity to meet sailors and learn about the Navy's capabilities and relevance to national security. The U.S. Navy conducts Navy Weeks across the country to show Americans the return they receive for their substantial investment in America's Navy. Venues will be located throughout downtown Spokane. Spokane Navy Week 2012 will include Leap Frogs, the Navy Parachute Team, the Navy Band musical performances, admirals and other senior Navy leaders who will engage with local corporate, civic, government and education leaders, plus Navy simulator and other interactive displays, visits to area schools, community service projects and events with local sports franchises, visits with local veterans and more.
