Hard to believe that it's been 4 years! On Thursday I will pass the baton to General Phelka. The photo was taken 4 years ago - General Phelka, his wife Dr. Amanda Phelka, and me. Please welcome General Phelka as @CAPNationalCC! Honored to have served. Signing off...

Let me introduce you to the graduates of @CivilAirPatrol Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training National Cadet Special Activity at Laughlin AFB. Weeklong immersion into what Air Force pilot training is like. Awesome cadets, awesome program!

This week I visited @CivilAirPatrol Blue Beret National Cadet Special Activity where they support @EAA Air Venture. But the program is about so much more - developing fantastic young leaders. This picture shows the words our cadets use to describe the experience. Awesome!

I was recently able to visit Hawk Mountain Ranger School where our @CivilAirPatrol cadets learn valuable wilderness search and rescue skills. These cadets are learning about land navigation. Awesome program! Awesome people!

My granddaughters learned about Navajo Code Talkers and the role they played in WW II. Then they helped me honor many of our fallen heroes. May your Memorial Day be meaningful.

This morning I was honored to present the CAP award to Air Force Academy graduating senior Campbell Mandela Anderson. Not only is he the top CAP graduate in his class, he is #1 overall! Hailing from Batavia NY, he's off to grad school and a bright future. Well done!

Thursday evening I was honored to present the Silver Medal of Valor, CAP's highest honor, to Major Randy and Lieutenant Kelli Hammit. A year ago they ran into harms way during a mass shooting. Pictured with them is one of the individuals they saved. Well done!

Today Civil Air Patrol bid farewell to Col Carolyn A. Guertin. A charter member of @vawgcap, she joined on 12/1/41 as Cadet no. 11 and served continuously for nearly 79 years! A beautiful online tribute was held tonight to celebrate a life well lived. You will be missed. RIP.
