To everyone who joined us — THANK YOU! Whether you traveled from across Hampton Roads or across the country, you helped make this celebration truly special!

🚢 A special thank-you for your patience with our ship tour lines! We know some guests weren’t able to tour USS Nimitz due to the long wait.

👏 To our incredible volunteers, participating commands, exhibitors, sponsors, Sailors and civilians — THANK YOU! Your hard work and dedication made this event possible!
