Chief Petty Officer Charlie Summers places a cap on a child’s head after racing small hand-made boats in a tub of water during a regatta he and fellow Sailors held for children at the Children’s Hospital of San Antonio. Summers was at the hospital visiting children, sharing sea stories and racing the small boats in honor of this year’s Navy Reserve centennial. Summers 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.
