U.S. Navy Week is coming to Fort Worth! HSC would like to invite all current, former and retired military students, staff and faculty to an on campus event honoring their service to our country. The Navy’s senior executive in attendance as part of this gathering will be Rear Adm. Keith Hash, Commander, Naval Air Warfare Center, Weapons Division/Assistant Commander for Test and Evaluation, Naval Air Systems Command. During Fort Worth Navy Week, he is participating in community engagements, meeting with local Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains, and engaging with local businesses, civic, education, and government leaders.
“As a Texan by birth, I love being able to come home and share my Navy experience with the Lone Star community,” said Hash. “I’m looking forward to swearing in the next generation of Navy Texans as well as talking to our future Navy civilian teammates. It’s going to be a busy – but exciting – week, and I hope you all make it out to enjoy the fun.”
Navy Weeks are a series of outreach events coordinated by the Navy Office of Community Outreach designed to give Americans an opportunity to learn about the Navy, its people, and its importance to national security and prosperity. Since 2005, the Navy Week program has served as the Navy’s flagship outreach effort into areas of the country without a significant Navy presence, providing the public a firsthand look at why the Navy matters to cities like Fort Worth.
Fort Worth Navy Week is one of 15 Navy Weeks in 2024, which brings a variety of assets, equipment, and personnel to a single city for a weeklong series of engagements designed to bring America’s Navy closer to the people it protects. Each year, the program reaches more than 140 million people — about half the U.S. population.
