Civil Air Partol.  Ever heard of it?

It is an auxiliary of the United States Air Force.  The three missions of CAP are aerospace education, cadet programs, and emergency services.  While a member of this proud organization (years ago) I met my fine husband.  Now, our 14 year old son is a member.  It is great to see him learn and experience the things we did.  As a homeschooler, I love this even more.  My son enjoys the social outlet, all the while growing in integrity, excellence, respect, and volunteer service.  During his membership - about a year and a half, he has volunteered at air shows, fly-in pancake breakfasts, attended bivouacs, a cadet leadership school, had an orientation flight, marched in parades, and is currently attending ground school.  I am also happy to report that my son recieved the distinction of being named Honor Cadet of the month for his squadron.   He was also given the responsibility of being his element leader.   There are so many benefits, I cannot list them all.

I wanted to offer my congratulations to my nephew for his outstanding work in CAP. As I am currently a member myself in another area, it is nice to see another generation follow in our footsteps and take the lead. The world and our country need people who can lead not just sit back complaining and letting other do the work.

Gratz again, my boy! I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing your name again.
