During May 3 – 9, 2010 the city of Boston will open its doors to hundreds of Marines for Marine Week Boston! This event will honor and recognize the contributions of Marines, including Boston-based hometown heroes and their families.
Boston locals can expect to see Marines volunteering with community groups and working with the American Red Cross to organize a Marine Week Blood Drive. Marines will host physical fitness challenges and sports clinics in city parks and showcase state-of-the-art technology on board Marine vehicles and aircraft. Bostonians can also enjoy musical performances by Marine musicians all week long. The full Marine Week schedule will be posted in April 2010.
Leading up to May, be on the lookout for Marines at local events, including St. Patrick’s Day Parades, the Boston Marathon and the Walk for Hunger.
