When I was recalled to active duty (01-04) I did a lot of paddling around the bay. I would get off work and go paddling most afternoons. Many times I would find myself close enough to NASNI or the sub base to hear evening colors. I would always stop and pay my respects. Even if it meant drifting a hundred yards the wrong direction or having to paddle like mad to get out of the channel afterward; it didn't matter. I have served for twenty years and I respect and honor our flag. A bite can wait for a minute.
