Shannon MacMillan, vice president for community relations of San Diego Wave FC, a member of the National Soccer Hall of Fame, the 1999 FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup-winning team, and a gold and silver medalist from the 1996 and 2000 Olympics, will be the event\u2019s guest speaker.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013City News Service<\/p>\n<p>READ NEXT\n\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Diego Fleet Week gives locals a glimpse into Navy and Coast Guard life this weekend.
