The Peachtree City-Falcon Field Composite Squadron has been named the nation’s premier Civil Air Patrol (CAP) squadron.
The unit has won the 2008 National Squadron of Distinction Award for outstanding accomplishments in the cadet program.
Southeast Region Commander Col James Rushing; Georgia Wing Commander
Col James Hughes; and Group III Commander Lt Col Joe Knight Jr. were on hand at a recent meeting to present the squadron with this prestigious award.
Also in attendance were U.S. Congressman Lynn Westmoreland and Georgia State Senator Ronnie Chance. The Congressman and Senator presented squadron member Cadet Captain Aaron Pendleton with the Amelia Earhart Award. The Earhart Award is the third highest award a cadet may earn in CAP. Cadets must meet stringent leadership, academic, and physical fitness requirements, and also pass an arduous 100 question comprehensive exam to merit this award.
