Manchester CT: The Civil Air Patrol’s Earhart Award is one of the most prestigious awards a CAP cadet can achieve in the cadet program. Naturally, any award referring to a great American hero such as Amelia Earhart, the first female pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean is a landmark award for any aerospace education program.
The Earhart Award is attained by less than five percent of all CAP cadets. On the 9th of March, newly promoted Cadet Captain, Jeremy Choleva joined the ranks of those few.
Cadet Captain Choleva, a four year member of Manchester’s 169th Composite Squadron, earned his high school diploma through the home schooling program. He began his college education at the early age of sixteen. He is now a junior at Eastern Connecticut State University and is majoring in biology. According to his father, Jeremy’s goal oriented character is clear to see based upon his academic achievement and his rapid advancement in the CAP cadet program.
Also honoring Choleva, Connecticut State Representative and CAP member, Major Ted C. Graziani Chairman of the Select Committee on Veterans' Affairs presented him with a Citation from the State of Connecticut recounting his many accomplishments as a cadet. Additionally, Representative Graziani expressed his support for the Civil Air Patrol and spoke highly of its quality cadet and search and rescue programs as well as the dedicated service of all of its members.
