CAP provides responsible leadership

Many thanks for the article featuring our local Civil Air Patrol squadron and its new cadet commander, Ryan Fausett. Once again, The Citizen lives up to its name, as it continues to recognize those groups and individuals who stand for conservative values and civic responsibility.

Our families, especially our youth, are trying to find their way in a complicated world, and they need all the encouragement they can get.

We appreciate, too, the adult leadership of the CAP as they maintain a program which offers young people an environment in which character, self-esteem, and a sense of future accomplishment can be built. My husband and I are very proud of these cadets. We are especially proud of Ryan. Why wouldn’t we be? He’s our grandson!
