Military gets 'Big Apple' welcome during Fleet Week
For the fifth consecutive year, sailors and marines in New York City for Fleet Week got the ultimate "Big Apple" greeting when they were photographed in groups, with their images simultaneously projected on the News Astrovision by Panasonic Video Screen. The giant video screen is located in the heart of Times Square, on the building where the famed New Year's Eve Ball drops.
This year, the commemorative photos were made available to the visiting sailors and marines on the spot, via Panasonic photo technology, in specially mounted keepsake folders. The photos are also available via the internet and were sent to their hometown newspapers so friends and neighbors could enjoy this special New York City visit.
