Members of the Monroe County Composite Squadron have been very busy this summer, including the Indiana Wing Summer Encampment, July 4th Parade in Bloomington, IN, the Monroe County Fair, and more to come. One thing the Ravens love to do is get out and about, and show our pride in community and country.
The last calendar year, and in fact the last several years, have been hard on everyone across the globe, let alone our local area. But I am confident we can continue to grow and succeed in our Civil Air Patrol mission and community service in 2023. I am confident in saying it will be a great year. And all of you helping our squadron each week, encouraging your cadets each week, and volunteering time each week will be a part of that success. I am confident in all of you.
We are pleased to share some news regarding our involvement in Wreaths Across America, a wonderful organization that sees to it that passed veterans across the country are honored each December.
