CLEVELAND (AP) -- Ohio will get a chance to celebrate its ties to the Marine Corps and its traditions with Monday's start of Marine Week in Cleveland.

Streets in downtown Cleveland were blocked off Sunday as the Marines began setting up their equipment.

About 800 Marines will take part in seven days of morale-building displays of Marine Corps training and equipment.

Events, including Marine band concerts, will be held at various locations, including the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the lakefront Voinovich Park.
