This was her brainchild, &#8216;Fleet \u200cWeek,&#8217; an initiative to reconnect San Francisco\u2062 with the \u200dsea service in the aftermath of the Vietnam \u2063War. At a time when the military \u200cwas\u2063 not well-regarded, especially in \u2062her city, Mayor \u200dFeinstein took a risk.<\/p>\n<p>She was both excited and anxious about how the sailors would be received in San Francisco. To show her commitment, she even shared her personal home \u200cphone \u200cnumber, urging \u2063anyone in \u200ctrouble to call her directly.\u2064 Rumor has it that she received a few calls, but she kept them to herself. This was just the beginning of her dedication to &#8216;Fleet Week,&#8217; which she \u200dcontinued for six more\u200b years during \u2062her tenure as the city&#8217;s first female mayor.<\/p>\n<h3>Related \u200cStories<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n      <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/vice-president-harris-swears-in-laphonza-butler-to-replace-sen-feinstein-5502204?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\"><strong>Vice President Harris Swears In Laphonza Butler to Replace\u200c Sen.\u200c Feinstein<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n      <br \/>\n      <span class=\"text-comp-caption\">10\/3\/2023<\/span>\n    <\/li>\n<li>\n      <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/epochtv\/sen-dianne-feinsteins-influence-on-us-china-ties-5502674?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\"><strong>Sen.
