Phantoms Celebrate CAP's 70th Birthday with Awards

Submitted by pblais on 2. December 2011 - 8:53
Happy Birthday, Civil Air Patrol!

On December 1, 1941, Civil Air Patrol was born when New York's Mayor and Director of the Office of Civilian Defense, Fiorello H. LaGuardia, signed Administrative Order 9.  For 70 years, CAP volunteers have pressed ahead with humanitarian, support, and education missions across the country with honor and excellence.

In New Hampshire, the Honorable Governor John Lynch signed a proclamation stating that December 1, 2011 is to be known as Civil Air Patrol Day.

At the end of the Phantoms' regularly-scheduled Thursday meeting, the Manchester Cadet Squadron honored some of their members with promotions and awards -- a fitting tribute to the dedication of CAP's volunteers, locally.  


C/SrA Clough earned the Wright Brothers award, and was promoted to C/SSgt.

C/SrA Castle earned the Wright Brothers award, and was promoted to C/SSgt.

C/MSgt Delahunty was pinned as Squadron First Sergeant.

C/Amn Turgeon was recognized as Cadet of the Year, and presented the Achievement Award.

Maj Blais was recognized as the Senior Member of the Year, and presented with the Achievement Award.

Congratulations to these members in their achievements.

This week's meeting included a homework assignment for all of our unqualified emergency services members, as well as our qualified members. In two weeks, let's see how close to 100% we can get!

Remember, those who do not yet have GES under their belt need to go take the GES test (open book, online) and record it on their SQTR.

Qualified cadets were assigned to two unqualified ones. Make sure you follow up with your trainees!

Wreaths Across America

Submitted by pblais on 10. November 2011 - 22:50

This Veteran's Day, help us honor the memory of our fallen soldiers by sponsoring a wreath through the Wreaths Across America program.  Your sponsored wreath will be laid at the grave site of a fallen soldier at the New Hampshire Veteran's Cemetery in Boscawen, New Hampshire.  In addition, an additional $5 from each wreath will be donated to NH CAP's very own Captain Wendy Wallace.  Early this year, Captain Wallace was struck by a sudden, serious illness that resulted several surgeries and a stay in the ICU at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.

Please help honor the memories of our fallen, and assist one of our own members through a Wreath sponsorship.  A sponsorship form is attached to this article, below.  When filling out the form, please reference the following:

SPONSORING GROUP ID NUMBER: NHCAP054
CEMETERY DESIGNATION: New Hampshire Veteran's Cemetery
CEMETERY ID NUMBER: NHSVCB

Please email us if there are any questions about Wreath sponsorship at info@nh054.us.

Thank you for your support, and thank you to our military service men and women: past, present, and future.
