Annual Salute to Military Program

Saluting our Military Forces.

Join us and our active and retired military guests for our annual Salute to Military program.  Our special guest speaker will be Rear Admiral Stephen Barnett, Navy Region Southwest. Admiral Barnett assumed command in July 2021.

The San Diego region is critical to our nation’s national security and the operational readiness of our Navy-Marine Corps Team with 17% of the Navy’s Active Duty personnel stationed here. This makes San Diego one of the largest concentrations of Navy personnel in the country. Rear Admiral Barnett, the Commander of Navy Region Southwest, will be speaking about the unique relationship between the Navy and San Diego as a Fleet concentration area, and the ongoing commitment of Navy veterans to the San Diego region. The issues that impact San Diego as a whole, impact our active duty Sailors and their families too. Rear Admiral Barnett will discuss the Navy’s commitment to ongoing partnerships throughout the Region, and to being part of the conversation on these critical issues.
