Today, San Francisco lost one of its quiet heroes.

K9 Xoro, a devoted member of the @sffdpio , passed away after a lifetime of service to this city. Xoro was more than a working dog—he was a partner, a protector, and a source of strength during the hardest moments San Francisco has faced.

From drills to real-world emergencies, Xoro stood shoulder-to-shoulder with our first responders, helping bring people home and bringing hope when it mattered most. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched, the teams he supported, and the enduring spirit of service he embodied.

San Francisco Fleet Week honors @k9_xoro_vom_donauries , and all the K9 teams who serve this city with courage, loyalty, and heart.

Thank you, Xoro.
You served with honor.
You will not be forgotten.

🇺🇸 Veterans Day 2025 — A City’s Salute, 250 Years in the Making

This Veterans Day, San Francisco stands in salute to all who have served, and to 250 years of the United States Navy and Marine Corps.

From the decks of wooden ships to the carriers that visit our bay, from Tun Tavern to Treasure Island, generations have answered the call to defend our freedoms and safeguard our shores.

Their legacy lives in every sail past the Golden Gate, every jet over the City skyline, and every handshake on the pier.

As we mark this milestone year, San Francisco Fleet Week honors the veterans whose courage built our future — and whose service continues to guide it.

To all who served — we thank you.

🎉🇺🇸 Happy Birthday & Thank You, Commissioner Kat Anderson!

For nearly 10 years, Kat has been one of Fleet Week’s greatest champions — supporting our city’s youth, our public spaces, and the spirit that makes San Francisco shine.

This year, she sponsored the 2nd Place Award for our High School Band Challenge and personally donated $2,000 to each school to help them get to the event. 🎶💙

Kat, thank you for your generosity, leadership, and love for this city. Wishing you the happiest of birthdays from your Fleet Week family! 🥳🎂

🕊️ Honoring Flight Nurse Susan “Suzie” Smith

The San Francisco Fleet Week community stands with our friends at REACH Air Medical — and all first responders across California — as we mourn the loss of Flight Nurse Susan “Suzie” Smith.

Suzie dedicated more than 50 years to nursing, including 21 years with REACH. Her courage and compassion touched countless lives.

Every flight she took was an act of service — bringing hope, healing, and heart to those who needed it most.

From all of us at San Francisco Fleet Week, we send our love and deepest condolences to her family, colleagues, and community.

May her legacy soar forever. ❤️🚁
