Fleet Week With Elvis Duran

Elvis Duran and The Morning Show proudly welcomed the men and women of USMC/USN to New York City this morning, as we officially kick off Fleet Week. Elvis shared with his listeners, “This week is so important, and Memorial Day is so much more than just a three day weekend and the white sale at Macy’s. This is an opportunity for us to see our men and women who serve this country on the street, and thank them for all they do and sacrifice for each one of us.”

Elvis invited a group of men and women from the Navy on-air to express how excited our city is to host them this week. During the interview they told Elvis that in addition to visiting Manhattan, they are also on duty 24/7. Many will be working with Habitat for Humanity, Meals on Wheels, and volunteering at various soup kitchens around the city. All three of the military ships that are docked will also be hosting tours and educating visitors about what exactly they do.

The Morning Show’s own Greg T was flown in on helicopter yesterday, and he spent the night aboard the USS Oak Hill. Greg T broadcasted from the ship, and also interviewed some members from the Navy live during the show. Greg T told Elvis, “This is the most amazing, beautiful experience I’ve ever had, everyone on this ship makes me truly proud to be an American." Tomorrow the show will fully recap Greg T’s adventures on the USS Oak Hill. Tune in tomorrow!
