Petty Officer 1st Class Jorge Rueda races a “Navy” boat across a makeshift sea with wind power during a regatta he and fellow Sailors held for children at the Children’s Hospital of San Antonio. Rueda was at the hospital visiting children, sharing sea stories and racing small hand-made boats in honor of this year’s Navy Reserve centennial. Rueda and his fellow Sailors are members of the full-time support staff at the Navy Operational Support Center or NOSC San Antonio. The Navy Reserve is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. Established March 3, 1915 as World War I was underway in Europe, then Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels and his assistant, Franklin D. Roosevelt launched an effort in Congress to create a Navy Reserve in order to have a ready force available to answer our nation’s call. San Antonio Navy men and women were then and always be ready to answer the call to serve.
