Took a tour of the SS Pompano berthed in S.F. at Pier 41. Saluted the missing colors and asked the WWII crewman manning the entrance for permission to come aboard, then saluted him again asking permission to depart and saluted the absent colors. The “CIVIES” were giving me odd looks; the Old Vets eyes appeared to have some dust in them or something.
Wonder if my ball cap having US Army Retired on it had anything to do with it?
Thanks for your continuing service Sandy
