In-Honor-Of flags line Jack London, listing all the names of people being honored by paddlers and donors in the 5th annual California Canoe & Kayak's Support Strokes for women with cancer. The flags are a fitting tribute to our many fallen comrades, and to those who continue their battle against breast cancer. Note: I took 400+ pictures, and built 2 photo galleries.
