Petty Officer Breanna Centeno, a Public Affairs Specialist attached to PADET Baltimore, takes a photograph of the Francis Scott Key Buoy after it is set in the water during the summer months in the Patapsco River May 25, 2022. The specially designed star-spangled buoy, which is set at the beginning of each summer, marks the approximate location where Francis Scott Key witnessed the bombardment of Fort McHenry in 1814 and was inspired to write lyrics that would later become the national anthem.
