Downtown San Pedro Business Development District hosted a Welcome Party Wednesday for the kickoff of 2nd Annual Fleet Week at the Port of L.A. City official, Ms. Lorena
Parker, describes their initiative in this video news report. The San Pedro Property Owners' Alliance welcomed the sailors and Marines, with nostalgic and patriotic musical theater entertainment from The Satin Dollz.The ships participating in Fleet Week, which runs through Labor Day Monday, are the US Navy minesweeper USS Scout; the amphibious vessel USS Anchorage; the destroyer USS Dewey; Royal Canadian Navy Frigate HMCS Ottawa; and the US Coast Guard Cutter CGC Active.

Socialist-activists associated with Code:Pink solicited for the promenading crew-members to attend the week-long, anti-military protest running alongside the event, which they call L.A. Harbor Peace Week.
Ms. Rachel Bruhnke, was soliciting US Marines and Navy crew-members (female and male) at the San Pedro Naval Fleet-Week Welcome Night to attend a series of pacifist social events she is involved in hosting to subvert the crew-members' commitment to their job, team, mission, and purpose. Might they turn one or more crewmembers to sabotage their technology or their crew-members or superiors' orders? Ms. Bruhnke claims to be anti-imperialist, but undermines America's defense against Communist and Islamist imperialism. How much does she support such imperialism and the totalitarianism which accompanies Islamo-Marxism? Code:Pink's LA Harbor Peace Week- peace through surrender? Ms. Bruhnke is a member of Witness for Peace Southwest, a co-sponsor of the LA Harbor Peace Week over the Labor Day weekend which events are co-sponsored by Occupy Torrance/SouthBay and the MLK Coalition.
Islamic imperialism has targeted America and Europe since the late 1700's. President Thomas Jefferson's steps to thwart Muslim Barbary Pirates ransoming their captured, "infidel" US sailors from slavery was dramatized in the 1950 movie, "Tripoli," from which the "Marine Hymn" gets it's lyrics "to the shores of Tripoli." The original "leathernecks" uniform was instituted to resist Muslim beheading of American seamen in defensive battle even then.
